Green Bay Packers Pro Bowl Wide Receiver, Greg Jennings, is scheduled to visit Philadelphia, PA for his groin surgery this week. The surgery was scheduled for Tuesday, October 30th. Will the surgery end up taking place?
According to the state-by-state breakdown, Pennsylvania, and specifically Philadelphia, are presumably not going to escape the onslaught of Hurricane Sandy.
PENNSYLVANIA
Gov. Tom Corbett declared a statewide disaster emergency ahead of the storm, Corbett’s office said.
Flooding, power outages and sustained high winds are anticipated, his office said. Sandy could even bring snow to parts of southwestern Pennsylvania and in higher elevations.
“Essentially, this is a hurricane wrapped in a nor’easter,” Corbett said.
Public schools in Philadelphia will be closed Monday.
Public transportation in the Philadelphia area has been suspended.
International and domestic air travel is likely going to be delayed until later in the work week, if not longer. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but Jennings surgery in Philadelphia on Tuesday seems highly unlikely. For the Packers top wide receiver, this will delay recovery and football even later into the season.
After Sunday’s offensive performance, or lack thereof, the team needs their starting wide receivers, including Jordy Nelson, back in uniform as soon as possible.
