Found January 03, 2013 on FootBasket:
The Minnesota Vikings may need to be worried this weekend in their Wild Card playoff match-up against the Green Bay Packers, as quarterback Aaron Rodgers may have all his weapons ready to dominate. According to USA TODAY, the Packers may have all of their receivers healthy to play, which includes Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb, both who were injured lately. Pairing that with James Jones, Donald Driver and Greg Jennings, and you got something scary going on. “They both looked good today,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Thursday. Nelson says that there is “no doubt” that he will play. Jennings missed the first seven games of the season while Driver dealt with a thumb injury. Jones has been dominating this year, as he led the league in touchdowns with 14. “We’re getting healthy at the right time,” McCarthy said. This may be a very interesting match-up come Saturday.
