I was at this game with ammo, Coach & Satori. The 4 of us had a very fun time at Lambeau, before & after the game. Here we go….
The news was official and awful. The day after the Packers victory over the Eagles, RB Ryan Grant had maintained his ankle injury wasn’t all that serious. Medical science said otherwise.
Grant was diagnosed with torn ligaments in his ankle and the Packers didn’t even bother wasting any time or energy: they placed him on the IR list Sept. 14th and his season was over after one half of football, 8 carries and 45 yards.
It was a devastating blow.
Grant's season ended quickly in 2010
Never a great running team in the best of times, the Packers at least had a quality back in Grant who had churned out 2 straight 1,000-yard seasons since coming to the Packers from the Giants in 2007 for a 6th round draft choice.
He was never widely hailed throughout the league as a great RB, but he had done a solid job in Green Bay, entering the 2010 season with 3,412 rushing yards and coming off a superb 2009 campaign where he gained 1,253 and scored 11 TD’s
Now Mike McCarthy had to fill the void. But how? and with WHO?!?
