Alternatively, if there is a chance Rodgers is returning, they have the option to IR someone else who might get hurt this week and would actually return later this year if they don't ever IR rodgers. I was under the impression that the IR designation was no longer a thing. Am I mistaken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if the plan is to return someone from IR, AND return rodgers, you can't IR them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when Reggie tore his hammy, missed a week, came back from the bye week and was totally fine? The docs couldn't explain it. It's going to happen again.

BluePacker Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I think the rest of this season is going to be very interesting in determining the legacy of Thompson, MM, and even Capers. Are the draft picks not named Rodgers, Matthews, etc going to step up or is TT like every other GM (hits on a few really big picks)? Does MM adapt and show us why he is high on Hundley? Does Capers get the defense to rise and fill some of the void? I'm actually exited to see how the rest of the season goes. Yes it sucks losing the probable MVP and knowing a SB is almost out of the picture. But as football fan this gives me something to really watch for.

Just a matter of finding a player to take his roster spot. Even putting Rodgers on IR doesn't mean it's a lock that his season is over. Honestly though, any hope of Rodgers returning is just false hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually we can. Teams get to return two players from IR starting this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one thing to get hopes or expectations up, but I haven't seen anything yet that says it wouldn't be reasonable that Rodgers still has a chance to return this year. From what I've read, collarbones are typically n 8-10 week injury if there's no surgery. Unless there's been some news that came out while I was at work today that I haven't seen yet, I don't think hope that he'll return is "false hope". It just needs to be tempered and there shouldn't be an expectation that he will return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still not for sure he doesn't return but it would most likely be in the playoffs and us making it that far is a long shot right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, yeah it's a long shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said that years ago when it was simply IR and your season is over. It's slow progress with the NFL IR but there is progress so we have to be thankful for that at least.

Why even have gameday inactives? What do those do? Then you have situations like we did in ATL where Guion was playing OG and that's a risk to both himself, his QBs/RBs and the guys he's blocking because he has no fricken clue what he's doing. I'll never understand the NFLs roster restrictions. You can dress 100 guys in college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
