| Will Blackmon, CB GB | |
| News: Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy said Tuesday that DB/KR Will Blackmon, who injured his knee on Monday night against the Vikings, will miss the rest of the season. | Analysis: Blackmon is a solid kick returner but has limited Fantasy value as a DB in IDP formats, when healthy.

| Will Blackmon, CB GB | |

He cut to his right and his left knee appeared to buckle as he tried to head up field. Blackmon remained on the turf for several minutes and was taken on a cart to the locker room for examination. Coach Mike McCarthy said it was a sprained knee and Blackmon would be evaluated on Tuesday. | Analysis: Blackmon is a solid kick returner but has limited Fantasy value as a DB in IDP formats. He will attempt to get healthy and use the bye week in Week 5 to do so. The Packers return to play Detroit Week 6. |

| Will Blackmon, CB GB | |
| News: The following Packers players are inactive for Week 1's game against the Bears: CB Will Blackmon, CB Brandon Underwood, FB Quinn Johnson, LB Brad Jones and NT B.J. Raji. | Analysis: None of the players listed above were expected to stat in Week 1 for the Packers anyway. Leave them all on waivers in all leagues. |

Blackmon's quad has been slow to heal
|
Updated 9/11/2009 |
| Will Blackmon, CB GB | |
| News: Packers DB Will Blackmon (quadricep) is listed as questionable for Week 1 vs. Green Bay. He went through limited practice reps Friday after missing the previous two days. "One thing I'm able to do is I'm still able to catch the ball, even though I haven't caught it in a while," he said. "I exploded a couple times and I felt pretty good." | Analysis: Blackmon, Green Bay's top punt and kick returner, practiced Friday for the first time since taking a knee to the thigh in the second preseason game against the Bills on Aug. 22. The bruised quadriceps has been slow to heal. Blackmon is pretty much just a Fantasy flier in leagues that reward heavily for return yards when healthy. |

| Will Blackmon, CB GB | |
| News: CB Will Blackmon (quad) laughed at suggestions he's 50/50 to play Sunday, according to a CBSSports.com correspondent at practice Friday. "I took a few (returns) in practice," Blackmon said. "They felt fine. If there is a chance, I feel good." | Analysis: Blackmon is a low-end DB, but he could have value in leagues where return points count. Consider him a safe play in those formats. |

DB Blackmon sits out Thursday
|
Updated 11/22/2007 |
| Will Blackmon, CB GB | |
| News: Notable inactives for the Week 12 Packers-Lions game include: For the Packers, WR Shaun Bodiford, TE Bubba Franks, DL Justin Harrell, DL Daniel Muir, DL Jonny Jolly, DB Will Blackmon and DB Nick Collins. For the Lions, DL Ikaika Alama-Francis, QB Dan Orlovsky, RB Tatum Bell, DB Dovonte Edwards, DB Greg Blue and DL Shaun Cody are inactive. | Analysis: No real big surprises here. Franks will miss his fifth straight game with a knee injury. Bell hasn't played for the Lions since Week 5. On the defensive side of the ball, Aaron Rouse will start in place of FS Nick Collins for Green Bay. From a Turkey Day perspective, the players out for this game would be like if the person bringing yogurt, tuna and bologna couldn't make it. You're not really missing out on much Fantasy-wise. |

|
Updated 11/20/2007 |
| Will Blackmon, CB GB | |
| News: Packers DB Nick Collins (knee), DT Johnny Jolly (shoulder) and CB Will Blackmon (knee) are listed as out on the Packers' Tuesday participation report.

| Will Blackmon, CB GB | |
| News: For Carolina, WR Steve Smith (shin), DL Damione Lewis (shoulder), DB C.J.

Vikings-Packers inactives named
|
Updated 11/11/2007 |
| Will Blackmon, CB GB | |
| News: For the Vikings, WR Sidney Rice (hamstring), DB Antoine Winfield (hamstring), DB Mike Doss (coach's decision), RB Naufahu Tahi (coach's decision), RB Garrett Mills (coach's decision), DL Jayme Mitchell (coach's decision) and third QB Kelly Holcomb (neck) were all named inactive for their Week 10 game at Green Bay. For the Packers, WR Shaun Bodiford (coach's decision), DB Will Blackmon (foot), DB Nick Collins (knee), LB Desmond Bishop (coach's decision), TE Bubba Franks (knee), DL Justin Harrell (ankle) and DL Daniel Muir (coach's decision) were named inactive. | Analysis: Rice and Holcomb were questionable coming into Week 10, so there was always a good chance they would be inactive. Rice was going to be back on the bench with Troy Williamson returning, so his Fantasy value had already been decreased. Franks is expected to miss another couple of weeks. |

 Blackmon suffers season-ending injury
|
Updated 10/4/2007 |
| Will Blackmon, CB GB | |
| News: Will Blackmon's second NFL season will end just like his first -- on injured reserve. The Packers' second-year cornerback suffered the fourth significant injury of his 18-month pro career when he broke his right foot in practice. Coach Mike McCarthy revealed the injury following Thursday's practice. Blackmon, who broke the same foot during a May 2006 minicamp, was covering a receiver during the final 11-on-11 team period of Wednesday's practice when they got their feet tangled up. "I feel terrible for Will. He was coming on strong. We all saw what he did as a returner," McCarthy said. "We felt he and Jarrett Bush were right there neck-and-neck as the No. 3 corner. It's a shame. He was contributing on special teams and was really making a move." | Analysis: The injury is the latest in a string of bad luck for Blackmon, who came back from the foot injury after missing the first five games of last season, only to suffer a broken rib in his fourth game on the active roster and winding up on IR. Then, Blackmon won the kickoff and punt return jobs in preseason, only to suffer a broken left thumb during the Aug. 23 preseason game against Jacksonville. The injury required casting and cost him the return job, although Blackmon did play as the No. 4 corner in the dime defense. Now that he is out for the season, he can be cut in all Fantasy formats. |

Blackmon sidelined for Week 5
|
Updated 10/4/2007 |
| Will Blackmon, CB GB | |
| News: Packers DB Will Blackmon (foot) has been ruled out for Week 5 vs. Chicago. He has been active for the first four games, but has just one tackle. | Analysis: Blackmon spent numerous weeks on the injury report or inactive list as a rookie in 2006. He is still plagued by injuries in his sophomore season. He is nothing more than a reserve DB for the Packers until he can show he belongs in the NFL. Ignore him in IDP leagues. |
