Saturday Injury Report: Ravens at Packers

The Green Bay Packers have 11 players on the injury report including a few starters. It's even worse for the Ravens: several starters are among the 15 players listed.

The report includes CB Charles Woodson, QB Aaron Rodgers, and RB Ryan Grant, but all three players fully participated in practice on Saturday and should start on Monday. The most important player listed this week is LT Chad Clifton, who was limited in Saturday's practice, though Mike McCarthy said he did some team reps. I expect Clifton will play, but if he can't then his backup, OL T.J. Lang, is unlikely to play due to a concussion suffered in practice on Thursday. If neither Clifton or Lang were available, I thought LG Daryn Colledge would slide over to tackle, but McCarthy would rather leave Colledge at LG and start either OL Allen Barbre or OL Breno Giacomini at LT. The idea of Barbre at LT, after his disastrous stint at RT, is scary. LB Aaron Kampman is still listed, but there is no chance he'll play after tearing his ACL against the 49ers. LB Jeremy Thompson won't play after he spent Friday night in the hospital due to a neck injury suffered in practice on Friday, but McCarthy expects he'll be fine

The Ravens have listed four key defensive players: S Ed Reed, LB Terrell Suggs, LB Ray Lewis, and DT Haloti Ngata. Reed wasn't able to practice until Saturday, but he expects to play. Suggs was expected to miss a month, but he said there is a chance he can play on Monday. Lewis might be slowed by his foot injury, but I haven't read anything to suggest he'll miss the Packer game. Ngata will play, but ankle injuries and defensive lineman are bad combinations, so he won't be 100%. The only other players who could miss the game are former practice squad S K.J. Gerard, and former Titans' practice squad player CB Cary Williams. TE L.J. Smith will miss the game too, but I think the Ravens can find a way to replace the 2 catches he's recorded so far this season.

The complete injury list is after the jump.

I’m reading that Clifton should be a go for this week…at least that might help us get a half of good protection until he reinjures himself again!!

Haha

That’s funny, but will probably end up happening.

Thats almost not a joke.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

I know. ugh…hopefully we’ll get up big while he is in and can hold them off long enough to pick up the win.

Sure would be nice to see at least ONE maybe two of the Ravens big four on the injured list not play this game!

Indeed

We can only hope Ngata and Suggs are out. I don’t mind Lewis and Reed.

Ngata is harder to move than any d-lineman in the league.

Ravens got a great practice in today in preperation for Lambeau's conditions.

First snow of the season fell today.

the only thing about injury reports...

they are very misleading. Especially this time of year, everyone is banged up but you know with both teams fighting for playoff spots there is no way 1/2 or even 3/4 of the players sit out. And with the wholeJets and Favre thing, a sneeze can put you on it now.

Suggs didn't make the trip with the team

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/12/07/terrell-suggs-didnt-make-trip-to-green-bay/

"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."

Suggs and LJ Smith

will be the only notable Ravens to miss the game, if you can call Smith “notable.” Suggs’ pass rush and tackling abilities will be missed but we’ve done okay without him and rookie 2nd round draft pick LB Paul Kruger is getting his reps and even made the game changing OT interception against the Steelers last week and has gotten pressure in his few reps. Teh blitz will be coming, which is where we’ll get the pressure, just hoping Rodgers doesn’t check down fast enough for the hot read.

He normally is good against the blitz. Rushing 3-4 and dropping more guys into coverage is where he seems to have more troubles, even though I wouldn’t say he has troubles against that.
