In June, Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy called Jared Abbrederis' offseason performance “exemplary” and “exceptional.” In August, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said Abbrederis was having a “phenomenal [training] camp.”

Yet it’s Week 5, and the third-year receiver has barely made a contribution despite all the praise thrown his way since late last season. That's when he showed his potential with four catches for 55 yards in the playoff loss at Arizona that many thought would be a breakout performance for the former fifth-round draft pick from Wisconsin.

Abbrederis has seen the field for only 20 offensive snaps this season – 14 of which came in the regular-season opener. With the Packers back to work after last week’s bye, there’s still no sign that Abbrederis will have a bigger role – or any role at all – in Sunday night’s game against the New York Giants.

The "starters" played almost ZERO plays in the real preseason.

The 1st 3 games were basically an extension of preseason.

Let's be a little patient.

We have seen Ty Montgomery taking the snaps out of the backfield that usually Randall Cobb gets.

We have seen Trevor Davis take over punt return duties from Micah Hyde.

Jeff Janis clubbed his way through 3 games on Special teams.

The "extended preseason" is over.

With Jared Cook down for awhile, I think you will see more 4 wr sets, whether Abby is part of those sets is a "wait and see" for us fans.

IMHO this+ team is ready to go on a roll!!!

The Defense is not being talked about enough.

Patience, all is good!!!

So far Abby hasn't had much involvement .

Neither has Randall Cobb.
They both play the same position.
