Anything new this afternoon that you guys have heard? Talk radio speculation or anything would be helpful. Thanks
Not a homer but a Jennings owner. Looks like a sprained ankle, he's undergoing a MRI today. Nothing has changed since yesterday that I'm aware.
I agree if going on that presser but all in all I don't think so. Severely sprained ankle can be rough. I think I read "severely" and "badly" yesterday after the game. RICE almost seems magical with sprained ankles so I wouldn't put him as a lock to be out but it's not looking good.Link To transcript of McCarthy presser

Nothing was said more than he has an ankle sprain. Rotoworld is speculating big time.
que?so this explains the one catch phenom of a game sunday huh
I don't know. Favre put up good numbers after Jennings got knocked out of the game. It was like he rediscovered some of the old chemistry with Driver.From Rotoworld...

Coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that Greg Jennings may miss Sunday's game.
Jennings said after the game his ankle wasn't broken and that he was "Sure I'll be able to go Sunday." Fantasy leaguers shouldn't plan on it. Green Bay is going to have to sign a wideout and probably will start Ruvell Martin if Jennings is out. Brett Favre owners shouldn't be pleased.
Oh, well then I think you missed the word "may" in their report. It's a nice CYA word I've fallen for over the years tooBri, what I meant was that, AFAIK McCarthy didnt say what RW is claiming he said. So I guess that is my beef. I am still hunting for definitive news or quotes from McCarthy to verify what RW is "reporting"
Usually the high ankle sprains are the type that cause players to lose significant amount of PT. Hopefully it is not that. I do not know what to make out of the crutches...at last he was not in a cast...regular ankle sprains can look very ugly initially and improve rapidly so I am hoping that is what happens because I need this dude to play this week.Here is the link from the Gazette Middle of the page
Now he was on crutches...that's not good. He says it's not broken...sounds like DeAngelo when he went down 2 weeks ago...they were all happy because it wasn't broken.
I really doubt he can play this week. If it's an ankle sprain he could be sidelined up to a month...sometimes those sprains are almost as painful.
It has more to do with the fact that Robert Ferguson will probably go on IR and they need another WR to fill that spot.Looking for a definitive link, but I just got word that GB claimed Shaun Bodiford off waivers from the Lions.....don't know what that says about Jennings, but it isn't good.
They didnt have any WR depth in the first place. They needed to pick up a WR anywaysLooking for a definitive link, but I just got word that GB claimed Shaun Bodiford off waivers from the Lions.....don't know what that says about Jennings, but it isn't good.
Have you seen somewhere he has a high ankle sprain? All I ahve seen is "ankle sprain"Does Driver get a bump now with Jenning's injury since he did have 10 receptions for 93 yds and a td, and it seemed Driver did most of his damage earlier in the season (against the bears and saints) when jennings wasn't a factor yet.
When they were talking about it on the NFL network, they only said he "tweaked" his ankle. Hopefully we'll get some real news on this soon.Have you seen somewhere he has a high ankle sprain?

Charles Rogers is out there and they obviously are willing to take risks like they did with Koren RobinsonThey didnt have any WR depth in the first place.

It's not like he's 30, geesh_4_ said:Martin has banged around the league and probably holds little long term potential.
True, but I don't think he has the speed to be a big play threat. He's a good move the chains guy who can make the tough catch though. In that respect, he's a very good fit for McCarthy's offensive game plan. Martin gets first crack at this, but Francies and Bodiford may have more potential.It's not like he's 30, geeshMartin has banged around the league and probably holds little long term potential.
Not in my opinion.His speed is one of those "game speed" things that so many WRs have gone thru over the years. He got open deep in NFLE, every game I think. He did in preseason with the Chargers and Packers.His time with James Lofton not just as his coach but like his sidekick or somesuch, had to be invaluable to his career. I believe, the first time Favre lofts one and you see his "ups" you willTrue, but I don't think he has the speed to be a big play threat.

I agree that he'll be a good red zone threat, no question. That's his game. Use is size to shield defenders, and use his strength and leaping ability to make the tough catch. As for game speed, I guess we'll find out soon enough. I hope he plays fast.Not in my opinion.His speed is one of those "game speed" things that so many WRs have gone thru over the years.

McCarthy, Favre, Driver...you name the GB player or coach and you can google to see him saying Ruvell's a weapon in the red zone.********I've been pimping him since I watched him in NFLE so I really want him to do well.
Haven't been able to verify if he will/has practice(d) today...when did this thread get hijacked? back to jennings, any update on his ankle and whether he will play sunday?
GREEN BAY, Wis. Rookie wide receiver Greg Jennings didn't practice with the Green Bay Packers this morning, but he was walking without crutches and didn't have a noticeable limp.It's a sign that the ankle injury Jennings sustained in the Packers' 34-24 victory in Miami on Sunday might not be as bad as originally feared.Earlier this week, Packers coach Mike McCarthy said that Jennings could miss the Packers' game against the Arizona Cardinals at Lambeau Field on Sunday.cubbie5150 said:Haven't been able to verify if he will/has practice(d) today...varmint cong said:when did this thread get hijacked? back to jennings, any update on his ankle and whether he will play sunday?
Those thoughts were of his agent, some guy named overstreet. He doesn't seem to realize that Jennings has talent, and Ferguson is a never-was.look at Ferguson's thoughts on Jennings at the end of this article

well the last one is what Ferguson told himLike he told me once, he said, 'Hey man, I just really don't deserve this. I work hard. I do what they ask me to do, and I can't explain what it is.' (Jennings) earned the starting job in preseason. He never even played in a game. I don't get it."Those thoughts were of his agent, some guy named overstreet.

that's the problem, you don't get it - Jennings obviously does get it ...I do what they ask me to do, and I can't explain what it is.' (Jennings) earned the starting job in preseason. He never even played in a game. I don't get it."
