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.
