As per post game show, Jennings is out for the remainder of the regular season. Should be back for playoffs, as I understand it.
Then again, MRI tomorrow might even push that back for all I know. Tori Gurley might get his shot.

At least we have the 1st round bye to let him and some other guys get healthy.

They are saying on the Packers Radio Network that player tweets are indicating they hope that Jennings can return in time for the playoffs.

Silverstein: #Packers Rodgers says there's 5 weeks left until playoffs and with WR Greg Jennings' knee injury, "hopefully we can get him ready for that."

"It didn’t look very good, so we’ll see what the MRI says tomorrow and hopefully, you know, we got a bye wrapped up, so he really has close to five weeks before the next game, or our playoff game," Rodgers said. "So hopefully we can get him ready for that."

Tight end Jermichael Finley didn't see the injury himself. He did not know Jennings' status but didn't sound optimistic.

"It's the next man up right now," Finley said. "Last year, I went down at the beginning of the season and Greg stepped up. So this year, it'll be on our receiving corps to step up.

“I think he’ll be fine,” Driver said. “I haven’t talked to him yet but I think he should be OK...We know that everybody has a job to do. It’s been a proven fact that guys have stepped up and filled other guys’ shoes."

^ I'm not sure there's more substance to the twitter reports than speculation that McCarthy will hold Jennings out to be on the safe side. That speculation, considering how he has handled injuries (Hawk, for example) and the fact that we have the first-round bye secured, seems not to be too much of a stretch.

Really, this injury means one thing: YOTTO is now or never. Finley will essentially be the central component of our game-plan each week. I would not mind using Finley to the extent we used him the first few weeks of last season, before he got injured. He must not only win match-ups, but must open up space for other teams. If ever there was a golden opportunity for Finley to step up this season and become the center piece for this offense... now is the time. As long as Finley is healthy... I don't think we miss too much of a beat. Cobb out of the slot is a pretty intriguing match-up, and he can create some of the mismatches with his attributes that Jennings could with his.

What I'm most curious about, however, is how this injury effects McCarthy's planning. Does he seriously contemplate going for 16-0? We need 1 more win to secure the #1 seed in the conference... but beyond that I wonder if McCarthy goes the Dungy route and rests his players the final two games. Based on the fact that DS is playing poorly at RG... I would be pretty happy to have Aaron sit out meaningful games alongside Sitton, Bishop, and Jennings.

PFT says a tear "is suspected." Tear could mean sprain. Keep that in mind.
Complete tear would require surgery.

PFT reports that Jennings is suspected to have a MCL tear.

Knowing how this organization treats injuries during McCarthy's tenure... we're not getting a definite return timeline until the playoffs are about to begin. I really wish they would be more open with the injuries suffered, and timeline of expected return.

beast (7h) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
