Injury bug has hit him again. Lousy news for Pack fans on a defense that was already terrible.

 

If he needs surgery it could be season-ending.

That's terrible.  He's by far the best player on that defense.  Is anyone else on that defense even making plays?

[The Old Crow]

Great timing for us. We could use a break, sorry Clay !

'us'?

Packers play the Ravens next week.

Not to be the devil's advocate, but Ben Roethlisberger once had a broken thumb and he played through the injury and insisted he'd return on the field even after playing through the pain.

If a QB can throw a football with a broken thumb, a defender can at least put his hand up to swat balls, or utilize his body to dive for some tackles.

I just hope he's out. He is a great player.

GB is so screwed now. Their defense is an absolute laughing stock. Watch when they start playing good teams again, anyone can shred them. They will still 10+ games before blowing it big when it matters.

 

That team is never going to win another Super Bowl.
