December 12, 2008 Ryan Pickett missed Thursday's practice while dealing with an illness, according to Scout.com.
Our View:Pickett holds little fantasy value but is a solid defensive tackle, and Maurice Jones-Drew and the Jaguars' offense would benefit if Pickett is not ready for Sunday's game.
October 18, 2008 Packers defensive tackle Ryan Pickett will play in the team's game against the Colts, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
Our View:Pickett had a strained triceps muscle, which had held him out. "Big Grease", as he is called, is vital to the team's run defense, which goes up against Dominic Rhodes instead of Joseph Addai.
October 13, 2008 It has been determined that Ryan Pickett strained his triceps during Sunday's battle with Seattle, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
Our View:There was initial fear that he may have torn the triceps muscle, but an MRI today revealed that he only suffered a strain. It appears he will be back, but the team has to see how he goes through rehab to get a better gauge on how long the injury will keep him out.
October 12, 2008 Defensive tackle Ryan Pickett will undergo an MRI on his injured left elbow on Monday, the Green Bay Press Gazette notes. "I just overextended it," Pickett said after the game. "All I know right now is that it hurts."
Our View:The Packers run defense has not played well this year, and the line previously lost Cullen Jenkins for the season. For their sake, let's hope this injury isn't serious.
October 2, 2008 Ryan Pickett was limited in Thursday's practice, according to the Green Bay Press-Gazette. He is dealing with a knee ailment.
Our View:He was limited yesterday as well, but the Packers expect him to play in Week 5. He has performed well so far this season with 10 tackles (five solo) over the first four games, and could have another productive outing against the run-heavy Falcons' offense.
