BAM Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 2 hours ago, {Family Ghost} said: If they decide to keep him on IR then it's a pretty major miscalculation by the Packers doctors. How so? The calculation by the medical staff and Alexander was it was worth it to avoid surgery, rehab hard and try to get back this season. Seems like an acceptable calculation to me. I expect him to be activated today, but the covid outbreak has narrowed the window of carrying players not quite ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{Family Ghost} Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I hope Jaire is ready to go against the Vikes .. we need him. He should be plenty healthy given the amount of time he was sidelined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that if he wasn't going to come off the list it was something serious enough that he should have had surgery to repair a couple months ago.

If the choice was ............ surgery and then rehab for 4-5 months...missing the rest of 2021 season and playoffs rehab for ??? months and see what progress can be made ... chance for late 2021 season return + playoffs the the back up option of surgery in the offseason if that is needed. ..............then Option 1 was less ideal vs option 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLF seems to enjoy being vague in his conferences however, so who knows. 19 minutes ago, BAM said: The issue is moot, as they activated him today. They activiated him today because they had to or his season was done. MLFs presser gave no gurantee he'll play this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to get his feet wet in at least a game. If not this week, then next week at absolute minimum. Going into the playoffs without any playing rehab time wouldn't be good at all.

packfanfb Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 What exactly is the "long haul"? We have 3 guaranteed games left this season. I can see maybe resting him one more week but at that point, what are you saving him for--making his first game back a playoff game with no prior game reps? Good luck with that.

I think Z, Jaire and Dave are the caliber of player that anyone on our staff would feel comfortable firing up for a playoff game after a long absence.

After this long of non contact, fast paced, getting beat on ... not so sure they'd be all that comfortable without playing one snap before a playoff game. Sure, it would be better than not having them no doubt. Would just a soon see them get a little bit of "break in" time. Physically probably ok but mentally .. not so sure.

I would hoep that would be the case for any of them comiing back. But we're not familair with the health situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would only agree on Z because rushing the passer is just rushing the passer. We don't even need Z in the base because he's a subpar run defender anyways. That being said, if Z isn't designated to return by next week, you can kiss that dream goodbye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vita Vea was pretty big for Tampa in the NFCCG last year after not playing much of the regular season. I thought the same thing when they said he was active, he filled his role well. These 3 are studs, if they don't play a snap over the next two weeks, but have the green light come playoff time, I'm trusting them. Meyers is the interesting one, I might just stick with Patrick if he can't go next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
