(Rotoworld) According to the Green Bay Press Gazette, Packers ILBs Desmond Bishop (calf) and AJ Hawk (calf) are in doubt for Week 13 at the Giants "and perhaps longer."

Analysis: Both players missed the entirety of the second half. Bishop's injury is considered the more serious of the two. He was sporting crutches after the game and will head for an MRI on Monday. Rookie D.J. Smith replaced Bishop while Rob Francois filled in for Hawk.

Updates as they come please....  Just traded for Bishop before the game today...

McCarthy's report was fairly optimistic on starting inside linebackers Desmond Bishop and A.J. Hawk even though both were unable to finish against Detroit because of calf strains. Bishop appeared worse off after the game and was on crutches, but McCarthy said both "have a chance for New York."

the extra time off will surely help...worst case he probably misses week 13 and then will be back for the fantasy playoffs

Anyone know the exact extent of Bishop's injury? He has been a fixture that until now I've never had to worry about in my lineup. My team was cruising until, Jackson (done), Peterson (who knows), Austin (Kardashiand), and Bishop. Get well soon Desmond.

Neither practiced today and will be re-evaluated on Friday.

Listed Bishop in the rankings but with a ton of hesitation.  Was not aware the injury was as serious as it apparently is.  If you have steadier options, I'd go that route.

Neither practiced today

The article said they were both ruled OUT for the game that Big John linked.

Anyone know how probable Bishop will be for week 14?

Edit: Saw this on his twitter:

Doesn't looks good for Bishop this week, a letter better for Hawk

[Big John]

Bishop and Starks out, Hawk questionable for Sunday.

Any updates on Bishops status for week 15. I could use his violent ways (LA Confidential). Greenway has been killing me.

I hear the pain on this thread. I picked up DJ Smith  and so far so good. That said it's championship week and I want my stud LB back!

Any word from Pack camp please post, thanks.
