Greg Jennings Injury: Packers Still Super Bowl Contenders If Star WR Misses Time

Austin GreenDec 11, 2011

Greg Jennings might miss significant time with a knee injury, but the Packers will still be Super Bowl contenders.

Jennings is Green Bay's best receiver, and his absence will undoubtedly hurt their high powered offense.

He's caught 67 passes this season for 949 yards and nine touchdowns. You don't lose that kind of production without suffering some consequences.

But it's not like the Packers don't have other weapons offensively.

Jordy Nelson has been a beast this season. He only has 51 receptions, but he's still managed to rack up 876 yards and 10 touchdowns.

On Sunday he had 81 yards and a score despite catching just three passes.

Tight end Jermichael Finley is also more than capable of picking up some slack. The 24-year-old out of Texas has 42 receptions for 600 yards and six touchdowns on the year.

Green Bay also has solid receivers in Donald Driver and James Jones. They haven't put up crazy numbers this season, but they're both reliable targets.

The Packers also have that opportunistic defense to fall back on. They've intercepted 27 passes on the season, which is most in the league by far.

The loss of Jennings certainly hurts. He's one of the five best receivers in the game. But Aaron Rodgers and Co. will be just fine.

Even if Jennings misses the rest of the season, the Packers will still be Super Bowl contenders.
