Might Quinn

hickoryhouse · August 17, 2008

I was watching a bit of the Green Bay preseason game today before I hadd to come to work and I say Quinn go down but couldn't stay long enough to see what the result was. He had a RB soll up on his ankle as he was being tackled fro behind. I hope that he is OK.... After he got hurt the announcer, don't know who it was, gave him some nice North Texas ups.. good to hear on national TV

Any one know anything about this?

By the way this was right after he made a nice 17 yd grab the series before. He was on with the third team in the fourth quarter.

NEWS, NOTES AND ANALYSIS

* Packers coach Mike McCarthy was unsuccessful in his first challenge of the year. With 12 minutes to play, Dominique Zeigler came down with a third-down catch right in front of McCarthy at the right sideline. Officials ruled Zeigler maintained control to the ground.

* DE Jason Hunter picked up his second personal foul for a facemask — the fifth penalty against the Packers defense.

* Rookie Breno Giacomini finally got in at right tackle … and was called for holding, negating a decent Kregg Lumpkin run. But that was nothing compared to what happened to Daryn Colledge at left tackle the next two plays — back-to-back sacks given up to Tully Banta-Cain, both resulting in fumbles. On the first, Colledge knocked down his man and No. 3 QB Matt Flynn held the ball too long. But on the second, Colledge was flat-out burned with a spin move. Giacomini was beat on the other side by Louis Holmes, too, leading to Flynn getting sandwiched. For as bad as the pass protection was early on in Monday’s game, it’s been worse from top to bottom tonight.

* San Francisco’s directional punting has been something tonight. Even backup punter Ricky Schmitt, who also has been kicking extra points, planted one at the 2.

INJURY UPDATE

* Rookie TE Evan Moore went down holding his left knee after taking a direct hit from CB Marcus Hudson in the final minute of the fourth quarter. It did not look good, as trainers attended to Moore on the field for a while and had to be helped off the field. Less important, though it did kill a good drive, is that Moore fumbled after he was hit and San Francisco recovered.

* Packers WR Johnny Quinn appeared to be favoring his right leg as he hobbled off with about 4 minutes to play.
