Jennings seeking piece of mind about injury
By Tom Silverstein of the Journal Sentinel Oct. 24, 2012 2:22 p.m.

Green Bay - Wide receiver Greg Jennings wasn't available to reporters today, but his teammates expressed some of the concerns he's feeling and their hope that he's able to figure out the quickest way to get back on the field.

Jennings went to get a second opinion on his injured groin in hopes of finding out why it's taking him so long to return from the injury.

When asked if Jennings was concerned about the time it was taking and sought out the second opinion, coach Mike McCarthy said, "Correct."

Wide receiver James Jones said that Jennings, who has sat out the last three games while trying to get healthy, mostly wants to find out exactly what his injury is and whether there's anything else he can do to get back on the field.

Players have the right to seek a second opinion that the club must pay for and usually it's to see a specialist. The Packers have been known to send players to specialists on their own when an injury takes longer than normal to heal.

"I just want him to figure out exactly what it is," Jojnes said. "You don’t want to be trying to come back on an injury or out there running and testing on an injury and you don’t know exactly what you have.

"Hopefully he can go out there and find exactly what he has. And they’ll be able to treat it."

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers said that Jennings wants to get back on the field badly, but the injury is not allowing him to do what he needs to perform.

"I can’t speak for Greg. I haven’t seen him yet today," Rodgers said. "We want him to come back as quickly as he can, but he’s got to do what’s best for his body. I know his toughness and how badly he wants to be on the field. If he can’t be out there, you know it’s got to be something significant."

Jones said he went through a similar situation a when he had a knee injury that kept getting worse every time he played. He told Jennings that it takes patience and that you have to get completely healthy or risk re-injurying it every time you play.

"I just talk to him about understanding what he’s going through, because I went through the same thing a couple of years ago with my knee," Jones said. "Practice on it all week and then fall on it in a game and then I can’t even get up and run. Then you’ve got to sit out the next week

Not trying to be a doom-n-gloomer here but when you're going for a 2nd opinion that can't bode well.

Sports hernia? Surgery? Unfortunately that's what is swirling 'round my head.

Hopefully the Nelson hammy does not become a lingering issue.

Was that headline really printed in the newspaper? "Piece of mind"?? Made me chuckle.

Looks corrected now.

If Jennings and Nelson are out for a period of time, maybe we could bring back Taco Wallace and Antonio Chatman just for old times sake?

I have not read anywhere what the actual injuries are to Perry and Shields. Does anyone know?

When we win the SB, we can say we did it without Jennings and Finley. At the rate we are going, we may not need any offensive guys to win a SB. Or, just anyone will do. I'll have to figure out which.

10/24/126:54 PM

H5Keyboard Warrior, troll hunter

They won't need a running game, or maybe they will. All depends on which quarter the game ends.

Greg Jennings?! I think the team is being smart with him. His game is predicated on precise route running and getting in and out of cuts. He does it as well as anyone in the game but it puts an excessive amount of stress on the exact muscle that's injured right now. If the muscle is torn it can take a while to recover. That he came back once already and played on it injured should tell us everything we need to know about if he wants to win now, imo. That it got re-injured makes it a prudent decision to be patient with it this time.

Hayward ready to expand role

“I feel pretty comfortable,” Hayward said of playing both outside and inside. “The big thing is just knowing the defense. I feel like I have a grasp of the defense. I’m still trying to learn it like the back of my hand but, overall, I’m pretty much getting a grasp of it.”

Hayward has had no trouble obtaining a grasp on the ball. Mike McCarthy spoke last week about Hayward getting his hands on a few passes in practice, and the head coach said he did so again on Wednesday, the first practice of the work week in preparation to play Jacksonville on Sunday.

“Anytime you take a rookie and play him in a couple different positions in a multi-scheme defense, I think that says a little bit about the young man,” McCarthy said.continue

Shields with a shin injury of some kind. Perry with a knee. I gotta think Perry will be out longer than Shields.

Not sure how getting kicked in the shin keeps you out unless it is broken??

Getting kicked in the shin sprains the calf muscle?

10/25/127:03 AM

H5Keyboard Warrior, troll hunter

Shields is listed as shin and ankle. No need to rush anyone back with their depth and a lesser opponent.5 of the last 7 are divisional, that is where they need everyone healthy.

Exactly Hungry. That's the meat of the schedule we're going to need people like Jennings for if we want to get in the playoffs and host a game or two.

I remember the Shields injury. He got leg whipped inches below the knee. The other guy's foot hit him square and full force. I figured it'd be a knee injury so I'm considering whatever he does have as a blessing.

McCarthy: "I had a chance to visit with Greg this am. Greg Jennings is going through the options, surgery is one." NOT SEASON ENDING

Sucks to hear, but they could get him back around the end of the season. Just means more of Cobb, which is what they should have been doing earlier anyway

Getting a fresh and healthy Woodson and JEnnings at the end of the year will be nice. They just need to take care of business for the time being. Hopefully Raji/Shields/Perry can return soon

I've had a badly bruised shin bone and it SUCKS. when that bone is bruised every time it contacts anything else the pain is terrible and lingering. taint nothing to sneeze at.

It appears Jennings went to the same specialts in Philly that Mike Flannagan went to see in October 2005. Bill Meyers.

Flannagan had a sports hernia, missed 3 weeks following his surgery but it's common to take a month to recover from it.

Nothing out yet whether or not Meyers found the same issue.

Right. If you're sneezing you're doing it wrong.

Sounds like it may be a sports hernia - at least that is the speculation on the innerwebs.
