    It looks like Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings will have to shut it down for at least this week — and perhaps longer — after he aggravated the injury he first sustained in Week 1 against San Francisco, Rob Demovsky of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports. Jennings sat out the Week 2 game against Chicago but returned and played at Seattle before dropping out again midway through last week’s game against New Orleans.

    The Pro Bowl receiver is in the final year of his contract, he’s looking for at least one more blockbuster deal, and there has been little or no progress on a deal with the Packers. It’s possible he will hit the free-agent market in March.

    “Honestly, I’m not even focused on that,†Jennings said today. “I really need to get back on the football field and be 100 percent. The contract, that’s going to take care of itself. It’s going to be what it’s going to be. I can’t predict the future. I couldn’t predict this. It is what it is. If I can get back out there and be 100 percent, my performance will speak for itself. I’m not concerned about that, not at all. I’m not concerned about the contract. You guys maybe, possibly, are thinking about it more than I am, honestly.â€

    That doesn’t mean he’s not frustrated.

    “Extremely frustrated, honestly,†Jennings said. “Trying not to let it completely overtake me, and let it become overwhelming. Again, seven years playing this game at this level I’ve never experienced what I’ve experienced this year. It’s new territory for me, but I’m getting through it.â€
