Ditkaless Wonders Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 A major blow to the packers secondary depth to be certain. I wonder if the Packers may try to use some T.E. depth to shore this up. I wonder if James Jones can play safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chavez Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Right now I'm more concerned about his career; this reminds me of Tim Lewis (back in the 80s) - a hit that doesn't really look like all that much and suddenly there's a very serious neck issue.

Chavez Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 This from Rob Demovsky: Green Bay Packers safety Nick Collins is out for the year, but one of his agents said the full extent of his injury isn’t known. “We’re not 100 percent sure what the injury is at this point,” said Alan Herman, who co-represents Collins. “We know he didn’t break his back, he didn’t break his neck, he has full feeling in all of his limbs. He can run around and do whatever he wants to do right now. There’s no lingering effect from the impact yesterday. He’s got a headache, but he’s physically able to go. “The MRI supposedly tells a different story, but we haven’t seen the MRI, we haven’t seen the report of the MRI, and they felt from the doctors that saw him in Carolina and obviously his team doctor, the best thing for him to do for this year is to shut him down to protect him. But there’s nothing in there, there’s no break. I’m assuming there’s some kind of disc involvement, but we don’t know that for a fact either.” Herman said he’s still waiting for the MRI report, which is being sent to doctors in New York, where Herman is based. From there, a course of action on treatment will be decided. Disc injuries can be problematic. It’s what has kept Colts quarterback Peyton Manning out of action so far this season. Manning has a bulging disc. Good news for Collins, though, is that he does not have stenosis, according to Herman. Stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal column, and players who have it and sustain neck injuries often have to retire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piratesownninjas Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I don't think this injury is getting enough attention. Collins is an eraser for a very aggressive team. His skillset allows Dom to do some crazy stuff and not get burnt too much. Pepprah filled in great last year for Burnett, but he was also playing with a top three safety in the league imo. Collins being lost for the season could be a disaster. I just hope he's able to come back fully healthy. One of my favorite players ever, and a guy who plays the game the way it's supposed to be played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot can still go wrong, but this is a hugh sigh of relief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
