Jennings: A Rumor

[RashanGary]

GJ finds a way. He's been a fast healer and a very durable guy.

I wouldn't be shocked if we see him in playoff game one. I would be shocked if he was done for the season.

Considering Jennings demeanor on the sidelines, there is no reason to doubt it.

I fully expect not to see Jennings until the Super Bowl at the earliest.

Yeah, that did not bode well. What was most troubling (as a fan) was not that he seemed to be in a lot of pain (easy for me to say) but that he seemed emotionally distraught. As though he knew it was bad and was really upset about that.

Here's hoping that he heals up, for his sake first and the Team's sake second and our's last.

Justin has a point about the "tear". A sprain of any grade is a tear. The question is how bad, what degree? Until they tell us, we only have Jennings reaction to tell us.

MCL tears are not 4-8 weeks. Grade 3 MCL tears are 4-8 weeks. Grade 2 MCL tears are 2-4 weeks. Grade 1 MCL tears are ~1 week.

Matt Forte tore his MCL last week, but it was a grade 2 tear, which means he may be back before the end of the season.

If you're going to tear one knee ligament, the MCL is the one you want to tear. It just gets better on its own with rest, no surgery is required.

I'm hoping for less...but I'm guessing grade 3.

from the way he looked during the play i'll say it's 1 or a 2. there was nothing overtly wrong about the way his knee moved. he was giving a thumbs up as he was carted off. i'll play mr. positivity here.

Just something to think about for all of you who want Driver to get 10k so bad. On the drive where Jennings got injured, Rodgers had Nelson wide open for a TD on the first play of that drive. Instead of throwing to him for the easy TD, he threw to Driver instead. Had he thrown to Nelson, we score and the play Jennings gets hurt on never happens.

Im looking at it like this: why didn't they immobilize his leg on the cart ride out? He was sitting on the edge with his legs just dangling over the side. That has to be a good sign doesn't it?

What's everybody so worried about? Jennings once put the team on his back and scored the winning touchdown with a broken leg. MCL won't stop him.

When did Green Bay become a rumor mill??? The reports are legit; as always from Green Bay. Let's get good news today and I'm sure the reports are spot on and let the rumors run in other cities.

I am going with this until further notice.

Don't know but the fact that the leg doesn't hurt dangling from the cart, well, that can be good or bad. I once tore an ACL [soccer] and it didn't even hurt.

Concerning is the potential for a tear of the ACL AND meniscus. But as Mission pointed out, GJ had his knee bent on the cart. A bent knee is painful with a Grade III tear.

Cross our fingers.

i guess AR didn't see jordy in time, or at all. it's clear that the driver milestone wasn't a priority because they could have gotten it easily as he only needs 26+- yards.
