I saw this report that Greg Jennings suffered a concussion after the last pre-season game. I did a search and have not seen any other news on this.

Seems he will be fine? Any updates? GB homers?

Game notes: Jennings has concussion

By Rob Demovsky

August 28, 2009

GLENDALE, Ariz. – The Green Bay Packers’ preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals at University of Phoenix Stadium ended at 12:28 a.m. CT.

If you went to bed or tuned out at halftime, when the starters staked the Packers to a 38-10 lead (only to see the backups barely hang on for a 44-37 win that improved the Packers’ record to 3-0 in the preseason), this will catch you up on what you missed and help wrap up some of what you saw:

Probably the most important thing to come out of the post-game locker room was that wide receiver Greg Jennings said he sustained a concussion when he got sandwiched between Cardinals cornerback Bryant McFadden and safety Aaron Francisco on his first-quarter 25-yard reception.

“Got hit, got a concussion,” Jennings said on his way out of the locker room. “But I’m good now.”

Jennings said he got knocked unconscious briefly.

“Yeah for a second or two,” he said. “It’s part of football. I’m good now. Everything’s working normal. I called the wife and told her everything’s good, and I’m good to go.”

Bump him up a few spots for calling his wife after it happened. Good family man.

Who is the #t in GB? Nelson?

Who is the #t in GB? Nelson?

I think it's either Nelson or James Jones. Maybe a Packer homer can chime in. Either way, I'm guessing (hoping?) he will be given next week off as it's a pretty light duty game for starters to begin with and should start opening weekend.

Both are having great camps. It's a close call. I'm not sure there will be a clear cut WR3. Both will see plenty of time in what looks to be a very prolific passing attack. Rodgers has so many weapons this year. The ball could end up anywhere.

Kinda like Favre, only different.

I'd say James Jones has a slight edge.
