Green Bay Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings appeared to practice at full speed on Wednesday as he looks to play for the first time since having sports hernia surgery. Jennings hasn't played since Week 4 and has only appeared in three games all season.
Greg Jennings appears to practice at full speed for Packers: Fantasy implications
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings (groin) practiced on Wednesday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Coach Mike McCarthy said this week that he expected Jennings to be a full participant in practice. Jennings was reportedly close to playing in Sunday night's loss to the New York Giants. The Packers face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 13.
Fantasy Impact: The Packers have done pretty well without Jennings, although his return would give defenses another player to worry about in the passing game. Assuming Jennings returns, James Jones would likely be the odd man out at wide receiver.
Fantasy owners will have to monitor his status as the week goes along but Jennings could have some value as a flex play in deeper leagues this week against the Vikings.
