Did The Packers Just Lose Two More Starters? Two days after the 20-17 loss in Detroit, there are two big stories. Center Sean Rhyan, who left the game early with an ankle injury, is believed to have a high-ankle sprain, which Ian Rapoport said are “often 4-6 week injuries,” and backup center Jacob Monk, who started the first three games of the season at right guard, also went down with a quad injury. LaFleur said neither is expected to play Thursday night at Carolina. Meanwhile the officiating from Sunday’s game is getting heavy criticism, including from Tom Brady and Fox rules analyst Dean Blandino, after the Packers were flagged for two more roughing-the-passer penalties. That brings them to eight on the season, while their opponents have none. We break down both. In this complete breakdown, we dive into: Sean Rhyan’s Injury: X-rays were negative and he had an MRI Monday, but nothing official has been announced. He did not practice Monday, and LaFleur said he isn’t expected back Thursday and that the team will evaluate his situation long-term. Rhyan signed a three-year, $33 million extension in March and has started every game at center this year. Jacob Monk, John Williams, And The Center Spot: Monk went down with a quad injury shortly after Rhyan, so John Williams stepped in at center. LaFleur said of him, “He’s so intelligent, he’s got great command and understands all the calls,” and he “can’t commend him enough.” Jager Burton is another option, and the short week against Carolina leaves little time to settle the line. Other Injuries To Watch: The Packers’ Monday injury report also listed defensive tackles Anthony Campbell (ankle) and Devonte Wyatt (ankle) as non-participants. Zaire Franklin’s shin injury kept him out Sunday and he is still being evaluated. The interior of both lines is thin heading into a Thursday game. The Officiating Criticism: Karl Brooks was flagged for roughing the passer with 2:45 left, which added 15 yards to an 18-yard gain on the Lions’ winning drive. Brady said, “You can’t keep tacking on 15 yards,” and Blandino said, “This is teach-tape tackle. That’s not roughing the passer.” Brenton Cox Jr. was also flagged for roughing Goff in the third quarter, and Brandon Cisse had an interception wiped out by a pass interference call. The Players’ Reaction: Xavier McKinney said, “We gotta fix the referee situation,” and added “we gotta stop protecting these quarterbacks like we bubblewrap them.” LaFleur was more careful: “I don’t even want to comment on any of the penalties,” and “You got to play above it.” Micah Parsons also criticized the officiating on social media. The Roughing Numbers: The Packers have been flagged for eight roughing-the-passer penalties through seven games, costing 102 yards, while their opponents haven’t been called for one. Lukas Van Ness, Brooks, and Cox are three of the four players tied for the NFL lead with two. Green Bay also leads the NFL in total penalties at 9.3 per game, which is why even LaFleur says the team has to play above it. The Fair Take: The calls were a big story, but the Packers also missed two field goals, dropped a touchdown and an interception, and went 1-for-4 in the red zone. This is both a frustrating loss and one that still had its chances. 📢 SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: Packers Total Access is your #1 source for Green Bay Packers football on YouTube.
