If it is a grade 1 AC sprain, he will probably play. Grade 2 and beyond is doubtful.

Here is a link to info about AC sprains.

With this injury you can play. If you can play through some of the pain (which he did yesterday). He seems to be the type of player who would play through the pain hopefully. When i played high school football i had the grade 1 sprain my senior year... it hurt like a mother but i just took some IB Profen and played through the pain... im sure he can to

hopefully

One thing that is promising to me is the fact he returned to play in the first half before he had the injection. He appeared to be in some pain, but was able to play.

I had a grade 2 separation in college...doctor put me in a sling for two weeks and told me "some day, when you are older you may need surgery."
Hurt like hell when it happened, basically felt like I was shot (not that I know how that feels).
JA is obviously much tougher than I am... :-

I really hope he's able to play.
I still want to see him hit Rodgers in the spine with his helmet

gotta remember though, everytime Allen has played the packers, Clifton has handled him pretty well

maybe this is the game we need to move him to LDE and put in Robison and Edwards at RDE to see if they can get more pressure.

I would certainly think they should switch them around once a series or so on passing downs just to keep the Oline thinking.
