JENNINGS...MORENCY...INJURY UPDATES

[Deputy Nutz]

Harlan, some guys can just deal with pain better than others, but at the same time you're mostly right, if Morency could be healthy I am sure he would choose to be and play, rather than be inactive and hurt.

If it doesn't get any better he is probably going to need surgery.

Looking on the bright side, injuries always result in opportunities for others.
Looks like we get a chance to see the new guy Sunday, do you think he will be our 3rd down back? Would like to see Wynn get a few more carries too. Didn't MM say that Jackson ran good routes? Could always use him in the 4 reciever set.

Jennings' injury is the one that irks me. MM's training camp was as light weight as it gets in the NFL and he stills ends up pulling a muscle before the first game. Now, he can't even get back on the field after two weeks? I'll tell you this, Driver would be on the field. Come on Greg, get your ass out there!!!!

Let's see. Jennings badly sprained his ankle last year, and gutted it out for the rest of the year. I seriously doubt that the dude is milking his injury. Every team gets injuries. That's football.

He's probably not milking it, but he starting to look pretty soft. This used to always happen with David Martin, he would leave the game fine, somehow get injured in practice and then miss a couple weeks. Talent means nothing if you can't stay healthy. I know its still early in his career to label him as injury prone, but these type of injuries he is getting worries me. As gbpackfan said, if this were Driver I don't see him missing more than a week or even getting these fluke injuries to begin with.

Fanball.com reports Jennings did not practice Friday and is very unlikely to play again this week

Looks like I'll be starting JJ.

Well, the key to winning this game is running the ball and defense. I think the Giants are overrated, and without Tiki or Brandon back there, are almost are softer than us offensively. At least we have #4. The only reason they scored against the Cowboys is because the Cowboys defense isn't very good with all the injuries, etc.

I never would've expected to beat the Eagles last week. That was an amazing feat. We SHOULD beat the Giants. We have a far superior defense, and our offenses are similarly unspectacular. If we win the special teams and turnover games, we could rout them.

Only guard Tony Palmer, who suffered a neck injury this past week against the Giants, was absent from this morning's practice. End Michael Montgomery made his first appearance since tearing the MCL in his right knee in the second preseason game, and running back Vernand Morency (knee) appeared to be fully participating.

Hopefully, Morency doesn't have any swelling tomorrow. I'm afraid that if he doesn't get healthy in the next week or two, they may shut him down for the season. Apparently, he has the same injury that has slowed Abdul Hodge.

There is no mention of Jennings. Did he practice? Earlier in the week, I had heard that he was being held out until Friday.

Still the plan. Same with Clifton. Both missed practice.
