The Facts: Jeff Janis could miss significant time the rest of this preseason because of the hand injury he suffered in practice on Wednesday. According to a source, Janis sustained a fracture to at least one of the bones in his right hand.
Diehards Line:Janis did not play in Friday's preseason game against the Cleveland Browns and was not seen on the sidelines during the game or in the locker room afterward. Following Wednesday's practice, Janis came into the locker room with a large ice pack wrapped around his right hand. He said his hand "got a little jammed up" during one of the ball-security drills. When asked at the time how it would impact his ability to show he's worthy of a spot in the rotation, Janis said: "It doesn't help." Janis had gotten off to a slow start in camp, and that was before the injury. The Packers listed him as third string on their "unofficial depth chart" last week, meaning he's no better than the No. 5 or 6 receiver if everyone is healthy. However, with Nelson out and before Ty Montgomery came off the PUP list last week, Janis had been getting plenty of snaps with the starting offense.
