Initial Diagnosis on Jordy Nelson is Torn ACL

Recommended Posts

Dammit! I seriously hope not. I like Nelson a lot. The NFL is going to be so watered down from so many season ending injuries to stars.

I still think the reason for so many injuries is the new stupid practice rules. Teams can't practice how they want to anymore, causing half ass practices. Then when they play a legit game, they aren't ready and more injuries occur.

Anyway, I wish Jordy a speedy and healthy recovery.

I was going to make a similar thread to reassure Huddlers that we aren't the only ones suffering injuries...  In this one game, Nelson tore his ACL, and the Steelers lost Pounced and Tuitt.  Not sure how serious those Steelers injuries are, but if I'm not mistaken, both were eventually carted off.

Damn... that is awful... didn't a Packers fan just post his condolences on KB too??

And I do not mean that in any kind of snarky manner- just irony.  The number of non-contact injuries is unreal.  It didn't look that bad to me on first glance, especially compared to KB's which looked like a torn ligament from the start.

On a Panthers note, though, it just shows that the Panthers aren't the only team that will suffer a devastating loss.  Nelson was their unquestioned #1 WR just like KB.

The truth is the NFL is an apathetic place to injuries.  Still got to play games.

The injuries around the league this year seems way higher and more hurtful than ever. What the fug is going on!

There's a new version of Gatorade that makes you weak in the knees.

Wow! Everyone is getting injured. This is crazy.

In order to even things up, every team on our schedule needs to have a star player out of action, at least for our game.

In all seriousness though, I hate to see any player get a season ending injury. Most NFL careers are short enough as it is.

    • Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
    • Moton is a class act.  
    • Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
