Leader Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 PackersWire - Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur confirmed cornerback Kevin King suffered a setback in his recovery from a quad injury. King, who initially suffered the injury in Week 4, has missed the last two games. He looked on track to return last week, practicing on both Wednesday and Thursday, but the Packers held him back on Friday, suggesting a setback. He was inactive against the Houston Texans.

Better not be. We'll be down King and they have a dangerous passing game. Nowwwwwwwww.....we *should* light their defense up like a Christmas tree.....but who knows. We could use production from somebody other than Adams in the WR ranks. Hopefully this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang it, King! You are supposed to ball out in your contract year! 6 minutes ago, Leader said: Better not be. We'll be down King and they have a dangerous passing game.

I'm always a little skeptical before games. Vikes usually play us tough. I think if we feel like they are a "soft" or "easy" team to beat, we are in for a tough game. But if we show up expecting a tough game, and are physical on the DL, then we should have this one. No doubt Zimmer has studied week one at nauseum. We will need to do some different things. And I think we handed the ball off more in week one on jet motions than we have the entire rest of the games combined. Maybe we get back to that.

Leader Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Ryan Wood - Packers K Mason Crosby (left calf/back) did not join team outdoors for practice in early periods. We’ll see what he’s listed as after not practicing Wednesday. Kevin King (quad), Aaron Jones (calf) and Marcedes Lewis (knee) did not practice in pads today. Packers LT David Bakhtiari (chest) practiced for second straight day. Bakhtiari did individual drills in pads. Allen Lazard (core) and Christian Kirksey (shoulder) also practiced in pads today and were able to do individual drills. Good sign both are progressing well on IR.

packfanfb Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) Hope the Packers activate Lazard for this game. For one, I'd like to see him knock any rust off before the Niners game next week instead of that game being his first one back. Second, even against the Vikings, because we'll be down Aaron Jones again, having Lazard out there would help so we're not depending on Adams to catch another 25 receptions in order to have a passing attack.

MacReady Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Honestly as much as it sucks King is hurt, that’s huge as far as our chances of re-signing him. If he’s smart he will go for a one year extension. We don’t have much cap next year, and he didn’t get a great chance to shine. Helps us both out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that too, but I'd love to see us extend him for at least 2 years because it should give us the time to develop his replacement and we can always backload the contract, rather than frontload it.

MacReady Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Just now, Joe said: I thought that too, but I'd love to see us extend him for at least 2 years because it should give us the time to develop his replacement and we can always backload the contract, rather than frontload it. Yeah, I said if HE is smart. But I agree. If we extended him to three years right now that would be a steal. With us or someone else, his best decision this offseason is to sign a one year deal. King is VERY capable of having the type of breakout year Jaire is having. I think in a lot of schemes he’s already had that breakout season.

This is GB. I'm expecting him to miss this game and the Niners game. Probably makes his return after that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For his career, how many games has he played and how many has he missed. Can you actually say this guy is "available"? Caution on re-signing him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
