    There's a chance that Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings will return this week from a groin injury, but don't expect a prediction on whether it will happen until Thursday at the earliest.

    The plan is for Jennings to practice only one day this week if it turns out he's capable of playing. The last time, the medical staff thought he practiced too much during the week and that resulted in a setback during the game.

    So Jennings will go through a run test Thursday, and if he passes he'll be given an opportunity to practice Friday.

    "The plan with Greg just from Day 1 was to try to get as far into the week because with his type of injury, the fatigue (is a concern), going through the testing and him maxing it out, coach Mike McCarthy said. "The fatigue part of it we felt, sending him out for a bunch of practice, was probably not in his best interest for the week he comes back.

    "That's part of the rehab that we looked at the first time we brought him back."
