Jennings is out, and Nelson hasn't practiced since Wednesday. Do you think we bring him in, and run a WR set of Jones, Cobb and Driver in the slot? Does Boykin see more snaps?
Roger That!Driver has a neck thing going on too I just saw though I think he is going to be active for sure. I want to see what Boykin can do.
We will see Driver out on the field most of the game I am expecting. It will be Nelson, Cobb, Finley and Driver and Crabtree at TE. We will also see Crabtree and Finley at FB since Kuhn is out for this game. Boykin will see between only 5 and 10 snaps this game and will get a couple catches MAX.
I heard he got hurt walking out of the locker room when the coach told him he might actually get to play and be part of the game plan. He hurt his neck when he whipped his head around in surprise.I think if Nelson isn't playing Driver will return to his spot. Driver did have a neck issue, but he has had full participation in practice the last few days.
I just don't get it why Donald is being held back so much. He is talented. The best receiver the Packers have ever had. HOF bound.
He took a pay cut and remained loyal to the fans to stay in GB. (Since when did a modern athlete in any sport ever do that?)
I mean, he loves being a Packer and he deserves more than he is getting for being loyal at this point.
I hope we see him get more opportunities this Sunday and in more Sundays to come.
I miss watching him.
Anyone else feel the same way?
Please "tell" me I'm not alone here.

Never heard of Don Hutson except for a practice facility named after him, I guess.
Look, I'm not going to get into an argument of "Well, my named player is better than your named player."
That would be pointless and ridiculous especially since we are rooting for the same team.
(I don't understand why you are nitpicking over one sentence and let's that one little thing cloud your judgement of my post. Whatever.)
But this kind of thing is what I was referring to in calling Donald Driver the best Packers receiver.
And after reading this I stand by that statement.

Donald Driver is a Super Bowl Champion, Green Bay's all-time leading receiver and a Dancing With the Stars Champion who overcame homlessness and a challenging childhood to succeed.
Driver is the Packers’ all-time receiving leader in yards and receptions, and is the only player in Packers history to record seven 1,000 yard receiving seasons. A top performer his entire career, Driver has been a four-time Pro Bowl selection (2002, 2006, 2007, and 2011). In 2010 Donald and the Green Bay Packers defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV giving Donald his first Super Bowl ring.

Don Hutson was good for his time.
However we are discussing modern times and today's Packers here.
I mean, what kind of Packers fan is going to discount today's Packers and go "Well, back then so-and-so was better."
Agreed strongly that Hutson is the Packers #1 WR of all-time, and that Sterling & Lofton were better. Maybe not on Lofton though as he was mostly just a deep threat out of Stanford. Driver did a lot of what James did, but did it longer & had more versatility. Sterling was almost unstoppable, very strong, also got deep.
If Jordy can't suit up, we will see Donald as the #3 WR and he'll be fine.
Jones, Cobb, Donald is still a very good trio. But I'm still very excited and optimistic to see Boykin get some looks.
I agree with those who say Hudson is not only the best WR in Packers history, he's the best WR in NFL history. Not only because of all his records and how long many of them last/lasted, but because he basically invented the modern WR position. IMO it's OK not to know or care about Packers history even as a Packers fan, but if its not important to you perhaps you should refrain from anointing current players as the best in history. Particularly one who has very little chance of making the NFL HOF.

Lofton retired with the most yards in NFL history and was an all decades member. I think you might be undervaluing him.

If an all-time NFL team were named, the WRs would Don Hutson and Jerry Rice.
Perhaps, but I'm not talking about what he did after the Packers, as I am not concerned with the stats that Favre racked up in NY and Minny, Edgar Bennett with the Bears, etc.

Let's look at what they did as Packers.
