Injuries, Injuries, Injuries

Mike McCarthy's Monday press conference was just a wealth of quotes, but in a good way:

(What's Aaron's prognosis?)
Well, they're going to obviously rehab him today and tomorrow and we'll probably have a better idea Wednesday. Speaking with Aaron this morning, he has every intention on playing, but I think Wednesday's practice will be a pretty good indicator for us. It's just something we'll have to continue to rehab and see where we are Wednesday.

It's important for him to have the strength back in the shoulder, and really to see how well he throws on Wednesday...

(Is Hawk's groin a serious injury?)
It's a pretty good strain. It's something that, ... Wednesday is important. Knowing A.J. I'm sure he'll do everything he can to play this week.

(So you think he could possibly play?)
I can't tell you that. I'll know more Wednesday.

Can you tell that Wednesday is important? There are a lot of injured Packers. A lot of them are playing through painful injuries, S Nick Collins (back) and CB Charles Woodson (broken toe) are two of them, but it's hard to say on Tuesday who's out for next Sunday's game. As McCarthy said, Wednesday is important, but also we will have to wait and see who practices Wednesday through Friday.

Cullen Jenkins on IR

I guess you posted this before the devastating news of Cullen Jenkins being placed on IR. Jenkins is probably my favorite player and this is terrible, terrible. Is the drop off from Jenkins to Montgomery much greater than Harris to Tramon Williams? I think so…

Jenkins was simply a BEAST through these first 4 games.

Can Harrell step up when he comes back?

Missing Cullen

Man you nailed it.

Jenkins had a great 2008 season. He was getting a lot of pressure on the QB even if it didn’t lead to a sack. Going from Harris to Williams might not be a step down at all, but Montgomery isn’t near as good as Jenkins.

You probably saw my post by now, but Harrell’s just a different, wide body, point of attack, player. He would be a good replacement for Jolly or Pickett, but he can’t get after the QB like Jenkins.
