Mike McCarthy tells @adamschein surgery is an option for #Packers WR Greg Jennings.

Apparently it would not be season ending.

[pbmax]

This has not been his year. Old Spice curse?

[wist43]

Really regret drafting him in FF... he's just a turd sitting on my bench :doh:

Apparently running with beds attached to you and doing pushups with jetskis on your back are not good offseason exercises.

I suspect Rock Gullickson was involved somehow.

And Kurt Schottenheimer.

[rbaloha1]

Maybe a good move to get GJ ready for the playoffs. Wonder how it affects future contract?

[pbmax]

Bring back the free weights!

[Fritz]

It must suck to be him right now. He's watching dollars - hell, Franklins - slip away from him as he sits and sits. And he can't catch them because his groin is injured.

[hoosier]

"Jennings has a groin." This is the story that won't end. Does he have a new diagnosis along with the surgery option? I read some speculation about underlying sports hernia, which might explain why it hasn't healed. "Jennings has athletic pubalgia."

[denverYooper]

He has a rectus abdominus tear and will have surgery on Tuesday (Imig (https://twitter.com/Paulimig/status/261542874049568768))

[KYPack]

And Kurt Schottenheimer.

Slocum.

Rectus abdominus?

Sweet fuckin' mother of God!

I hate it when that shit happens.

[mraynrand]

Jennings shoulda done Hip Hop Abs!!

Rectus? Damn near killed us.

Groan.

At least we will know if we have to resign him or not by the end of this.

[mraynrand]

[gbgary]

for now we can do without him...

Nearly rectim, too.

It might be nice if we could have him this week if Jordy is out too. If Jordy's hammy is still sore we'll only have 4 healthy WRs - Jones, Cobb, Driver and Boykin - suiting up.

[George Cumby]

Next man up.

We'll see if Boykin can play and if DD is truly done.

Don't play Jordy, hammy's are touchy.

Kuhn and Starks are also on the injury report. This seems like the perfect time for Finley to ace his chemistry test! Of course, he is on the injury report also! Yikes.

I know injuries can happen in practice, Nelson's did. But Starks keeps getting injured without ever playing very much. They guy is just never healthy, it seems. Not unlike Justin Harrell. They need to move on from him next season, or maybe even this season if/when Benson comes back.

I have to be fair to Starks here. Apparently he was not injured, but was sick and had a day off because of it:


Running back James Starks missed practice because of illness, but should be OK by Sunday, running backs coach Alex Van Pelt said.

Does anybody else find it just a little peculiar that for the past three weeks Jennings has been reported to have a groin injury, and now it seems to have migrated north to an abdominal muscle tear? Thank goodness he finally went to see a specialist that figured out the hip bones connected to the leg bone, I suppose.

Shawn T is an expensive consult!

This may help GJ's future k -- get 100% -- perform big time during the playoffs -- show me the money.

No, not really. They are calling it a sports hernia, which seems to include the groin and lower abdomen:


A sports hernia is a painful, soft tissue injury that occurs in the groin area. It most often occurs during sports that require sudden changes of direction or intense twisting movements.

Although a sports hernia may lead to a traditional, abdominal hernia, it is a different injury. A sports hernia is a strain or tear of any soft tissue (muscle, tendon, ligament) in the lower abdomen or groin area.

And there you have it. Now that I've learned something new today, do I get to go home early?

[Patler]

Why? Is there a limit on how much you can learn in a day?? :-)
We'll teach you a lot on here; but, unfortunately, most of it won't be worth knowing!!

[sharpe1027]

And there you have it. Now that I've learned something new today, do I get to go home early?

Learning is strongly discouraged here. Mindless rants and unsubstantiated opinion are expected. Please fall in line. And before you ask, I honestly don't know why Patler's deviation from the norm is tolerated.

There's one in every bunch.

Jennings says the surgery went well:

[MJZiggy]

Must have been his wife who posted the goofiest surgery picture of him on Facebook.

[Pugger]

I'm glad the surgery was successful. Now maybe we'll get him back for the Detroit game after the bye or the NYG game the week after.
