Ryan Grant out for the year
Posted by Mike Florio on September 14, 2010 1:36 PM ET

And here's why those Super Bowl predictions often end up being meaningless.

Packers running back Ryan Grant's "significant ankle injury" from Sunday was sufficiently significant to end his season.

Jay Glazer of FOX reports that Grant will be placed on injured reserve with severe ankle and leg injuries.

Emerging as the starter in 2007 after a string of injuries, Grant rushed for 1,203 yards in 2008 and 1,253 in 2009.

In-house options to replace Grant are Brandon Jackson and John Kuhn. James Johnson is on the practice squad.

Available veterans include Willie Parker and . . . and . . . Shaun Alexander?

Uh . . . I mean . . . thats tough.

Seriously though . . . it hurts them, but they're still an explosive offense. So this doesn't cripple them at all.

Fuck me, he's on my fantasy team.

I just dumped him, and picked up Brandon Jackson, woot!

That shows you how good their QB and receivers are. Their offensive line isn't all that hot.

It hurts them in a major way. Rodgers was still be able to pass, but Grat was a vital part of that passing attack, not just running.

Great news.

It's a tough break for them, but I'm not broke up over it.

Nobody shows the Cowboys any mercy when our players are hurt.

I actually like Green Bay's offensive line.
