CentralFC Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Deserves its own thread for two reasons. Major one is Bulaga being down. One of the most underrated and valuable players on our team. Two is Murphy slotting in at RT instead of Spriggs. Please post any updates as they come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I've got no updates, but I've always liked Murphy as a RT. I truly hope that BB returns for the opener, but I'm also excited to see Murphy get reps with the first team. Seriously, the man probably has a unibrow and if that isn't the look of a right tackle, well, then I don't know what is.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenrik Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I think it is our only position on the oline where GB can absorb an injury. LT-Nothing,Spriggs is a huge drop-off and liability LG-Injured Barclay, Bulaga? C-Injured Barclay RG-Injured Barclay, Bulaga? RT-Murphy, Spriggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentralFC Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 Yeah you might be right. Have to hope it's something that keeps him out until Seattle. Would prefer to not have to throw Kyle into the fire on opening week. Bulaga has one of the strongest histories on the team of returning from and playing through injuries. Let's hope it continues.

packfanfb Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Got feeling that Bulaga misses at least one, probably two-three regular season games. MM said "he's feeling better" but no time-table for return and still getting testing done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 These are the types of injuries I can live with. It would suck to not have Bulaga against Seattle, but I'd rather miss him against Seattle than have him against Seattle and miss him for the playoffs. We traded right in front of the Bears for Spriggs. Think we could fool them into trading a second round pick for him now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haha21 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Murphy played well against Washington, certainly a lot better than Spriggs, and I'm glad he is getting the opportunity to replace Bulaga, he deserves it. This will be a great test for him this weekend against Denver seeing the likes of Von Miller and possibly Derek Wolfe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fattlipp Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Think we can ask Von to can just tag ARod rather than tackle him. I do actually like Murph, and when BB comes back he could just as easily replace one of the Guards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugger Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I hadn't seen this before. What kind of ankle injury did he sustain? A sprain? Low or high? Or was it a fracture? If it is your garden variety sprain he should be okay in a few weeks. From what we hear high sprains are a devil to heal quickly. Fractures can take 6 - 8 weeks.

X-ray came back clean and now their awaiting MRI results, MM doesn't sound too concerned though. Hopefully he will be ready for Week 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltarich87 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Bryan Bulaga said he's "not too concerned" about his injured right ankle. He's still waiting for MRI results but X-rays showed no issues and he's optimistic for the Sept. 10 opener. Rob Demovsky, ESPN Staff Writer All in all, sounds encouraging on Bulaga. Looks like him not playing will affect how long Rodgers plays which makes sense, obviously Quote Bulaga’s injury could alter McCarthy’s plan for Rodgers, considering the coach never likes to put his quarterback in preseason games without the regular starting offensive line. “We’ll talk about it,” McCarthy said. “I want to make sure we get all the information."

packfanfb Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Looks like "sprained ankle" for Bulaga. MRI must have been negative. "Will be evaluated Week 1." - Demovsky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopackgonerd Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Murphy didn't allow any pressures in the game against Washington, that's encouraging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
