Oh, Crap

Ugh. 19 players on the Injury report. The important ones were:
Jennings
Tauscher
Wells
Woodson
Jolly
Clifton
Bigby
Collins
All were limited, except Tauscher who did not practice. Yikes.

Sorry, Saints Fans

Sources: Bush out for Monday night's game

e New Orleans Saints are looking for a much-needed spark to jumpstart their scoring, but it appears they will have to wait at least another week for help from the obvious boost.

Despite reports all week pointing to the return of Reggie Bush after practicing all week, Saints players told FOXSports.com that Bush actually sat out Sunday morning's walk-through practice and will not play Monday night. Bush's knee is still too sore for him to return to full action yet and the team has decided not to push him back too early, the sources said.

Bush told reporters this week he was starting to feel good and he practiced all the way up to Saturday. But in the end, the knee was still too sore and some teammates even question whether his knee will be healthy enough to go next week. Bush, meanwhile, has pushed to get back on the field, but the team is not willing to risk long-term effects that could arise with playing him too early.

Prior to going down with a knee injury in Week 7 against the Panthers, Bush had begun to fulfill the immense potential he showed in college that made him the second pick of the draft. He had 294 yards rushing and 366 yards receiving on 42 catches, scoring five TDs — two rushing and three receiving. But his return threat has made him a triple-edged sword as he has averaged a stunning 21.9 yard per punt return with three TDs.

In his place, Pierre Thomas will get the nod and recently signed Mike Bell will also see significant action.

Thursday Injury Update

I know this is a bit early, but I was curious/interested.

Green Bay Packers

Nick Barnett	LB	Knee	Out	Out
Will Blackmon	CB	Quadricep	Did Not Participate	Limited Participation
Jarrett Bush	CB/S	Ankle	Did Not Participate	Did Not Participate
Brandon Chillar	LB	Shoulder	Full Participation	Full Participation
Chad Clifton	T	Knees	Full Participation	Full Participation
Aaron Rodgers	QB	Right Shoulder	Limited Participation	Full Participation
Jeremy Thompson	DE	Groin	Did Not Participate	Limited Participation

Chicago Bears
Player	Pos.	Injury	Wednesday Participation	Thursday Participation	Friday Participation	Friday Status
Hunter Hillenmeyer	LB	Thumb	Limited Participation	Limited Participation
Kevin Jones	RB	Not Inj. Related	Did Not Participate
Fred Miller	T	Shoulder	(Not Listed)	Did Not Participate
Kyle Orton	QB	Ankle	Limited Participation	Limited Participation
Charles Tillman	CB	Shoulder	Limited Participation	Limited Participation

Barnett is out, obviously. Looks like Blackmon and Thompson are the only ones that are going to be questionable. Another good week for Packers injuries (with one exception)

As far as the Bears go, looks like Hillenmeyer, Miller, Orton and Tillman are all on the edge. If any of those 4 don't play (especially Orton) it would be a big boost for the Packers. We'll see how it turns out....

Hey there, Titans fans. I watched your big win last night and, I must admit, I was quite impressed. You couldn't really run and yet you still won in a moderately dominating fashion. I hope that's not the case on Sunday. Also, I'm sure you'll be able to run against our weak-ass Run D. Now, I'm sure passing will be a little different against Woodson/Harris... I'm sure you're bubbling over with questions about the Packers, (actually, I have no idea,) and I'd be more than happy to answer them. Ask away.

I'm going to add a poll, just to (Justin) gauge how you think the game will play out on Sunday.

See, I can make Titans jokes, no matter how lame they are.

Poll

How concerned are you about the Packers game?

Terrified. Whenever I think of Woodson, Rodgers, or Jennings, I have a seizure.

1 votes

Nervous. I really don't know how good the Titans are, and the Packers seem pretty talented.

8 votes

Cautious. The Titans are the better team, but we could screw it up.

24 votes

Not at all worried. White/Johnson will stomp over you, and our D will dominate.

Hello, Colts fans. I was expecting one of the higher-ups on our site (Brandon or Mitchell) to do this, but it appears they forgot. Do you have any questions about the Packers that you would like answered?

A FYI (in the style of Mr.BlueShoe,) I have always liked the Colts. They really seem like the "good guys" of the AFC, what with the Pats cheating and everyone else being boring. Peyton was great on SNL, and I think I read that Bob Sanders does a lot of charity work or something. Anyways, I know you guys hate the Pats, and so do I.

Good News...

Good News...

Indy@ Green Bay is CBS's featured 4:00 game this week. We get Jim Nantz and Phil Simms. Also, finally, national TV coverage for us New England Packers fans. It's been 4 weeks. Also, this site is really cool - it shows which games will be on where usually the Tuesday before the game. As a displaced Packers fan, I find it very useful.
