It's getting aggravating that he's always injured. it's been 2+ years. The guy is not going to get healthy. Write him off as an injury bust and be pleasantly surprised when he plays 6 or more games.

Not ready for that but it is getting aggravating to be counting on the kid and he can't make it to the starting line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly don't even pay attention to who is healthy/playing in practice. If he's missing games again this year, well, yeah that's who he is. If not, well, he's bucking a really strong trend.

fistfullofbeer Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 What I don't understand about King is that he seems to get hamstring injuries again and again. I am by no means a medical expert or even close to it but could it be just a conditioning issue? i.e he does not stay in shape during the off-season? Not enough warming up? I had high hopes when we drafted him but at this time it is better to not depend on him anymore and look at alternatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not always a matter of conditioning or yoga. It could be the angles between the knee/butt and the gait of their run and a lot of factors which put an undue amount of stress on your hamstrings when you're going full tilt. Once the muscle is pulled, it's also really hard to get back to that state of strength. It can be permanently weaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that be something King should be looking at? I know surgery as a pro athlete is generally their last option but its not like King really has been able to bounce back healthy since he got drafted. I know its frustrating for us as fans but it has to be even worse for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know surgery as a pro athlete is generally their last option but its not like King really has been able to bounce back healthy since he got drafted. I know its frustrating for us as fans but it has to be even worse for him. well, keep in mind he has had mostly shoulder/arm issues his first years of being unhealthy. I'm not a doctor. But there's certainly some players who can hold up in the college game but just are NOT built to be taking an NFL pounding. That's ok. It's part of the process. Some guys who look like King's athletic profile and injury profile work out great in the NFL. It's still too early to throw in the towel on king, but gosh, you gotta think he's probably gonna be an injured guy most of the time. To me, TO was probably the guy who could do the most while being injured, and he healed very quickly. King doesn't seem like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a reason to discuss King, TC missed practice is a decent enough one to talk about his health. Which is undeniably poor. BUT! As a TC practice for any player in a vacuum, missing one is really no biggie. So IF (a small chance in my opinion) king actually has turned a healthy page, then missing this practice means nothing. "honestly don't even pay attention" was meant as a command, a suggestion. TC practices aren't really data points; we're just football starved so they seem important. Does that help you reconcile?

skibrett15 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Sam Ficken just made three straight field goals from 51, 54 and 63 to end practice. Video That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanedorf Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 #Packers aren’t in full pads, so take this for what it’s worth, but first-team D got good pressure on Aaron Rodgers with its 3-OLB look on third-down still: Z Smith, Rashan Gary, Kyler Fackrell. (P Smith getting team reps off.) Mike Pettine could have a lot of fun with that. Regarding Jordy Nelson, he won’t sign a one-day contract as some teams do when they allow a player to retire with team. It’s more of a ceremonial maneuver and not official. It avoids roster moves, drug tests (see Steven Jackson), etc ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
