Greg Jennings' level of involvement for the Green Bay Packers this weekend will depend on how he practices, according to coach Mike McCarthy.

Mike McCarthy has been assessing how much returning Greg Jennings will be able to contribute for the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

The wide receiver is fit again, having missed seven games following abdominal surgery, and will face the Minnesota Vikings this weekend.

The Packers coach told the Press Gazette: "You also have to have the conversation of, how many plays is he going to play? That's really what the week's work is for.

"It's important that we not only have Greg for Minnesota, but all the way through. So that's something we'll watch Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and communicate.

"Greg's one of those receivers that's extremely athletic, his body language is very easy to readjust to, and Aaron [Rodgers] has great confidence to throw to with anticipation. They have a lot of history together, a lot of production. It'd be great to have him back."

The Packers are second in the NFC North, one win behind the Chicago Bears.
