If he is out, we shouldn't need him for the Saints.

I mean, we aren't actually in another universe from the Saints.  See the Jets game.  or the Cards game.  Or the Jags game.  Or the Pats game.  Or the Bills game. 

We basically have 1 WR Bryce Young can sort of get the ball to.  That's it.  It's him.

He, saying it's "only questionable" doesn't mean much since it just popped up today in practice, to me that's just the initial thing they put down, particularly as if they knew he wasn't going to play already, making him doubtful or out would give the Saints that knowledge too.  Had he been on the report all week but still practicing in a limited designation, I wouldn't be concerned.

But late week hamstring pop ups can very much go either way.  Either it was a slight tweak so they then sat him down for the rest of practice to make sure he didn't make it worse and cause a real injury, or it was a real hamstring pull and they'll make him inactive for the game to hopefully only miss one week as opposed to multiple weeks by playing and making it worse.

Canales told reporters there is concern after the injury popped up today (whatever that means)

I tend to prefer quotes vs our hack media interpretations.

"Something popped up in practice, so you know we shut him down for part of it."

"We'll look at him again tomorrow morning, though, just to make sure that he's ready to go," Canales said. "We'll just take a look at him tomorrow and see where he's at, hoping he can go."

follow up question was, is it a serious concern or do you feel pretty optimistic. 

Canales: "concern.  concerned.  Certainly so"

Well that's the problem, because as the other post here below says, he also said "to make sure he's ready to go", which is classic coach speak, both saying there is concern and then saying the other which makes it sound like they'd expect him to be able to play and need to confirm it tomorrow.

Did they shut him down because he legit got hurt or because he felt a small tweak and they did it as a precaution (which does happen all the time too), that's the question at hand.

Meh, if it was a "serious concern" I don't think he says the "just to make sure he's ready to go" part about it all.

Not saying he isn't legitimately hurt, but this just feels like one of those with much more questions than answers right now.

    • It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).   
    • Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
    • It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
