Jeff Janis getting a feel for wearing a club again

GREEN BAY — The first time Jeff Janis broke his finger in high school, the future Packers receiver simply threw a club on his hand and switched to running back.

Janis wound up leading the Tawas Area High School football team in rushing with 731 yards and 10 touchdowns, averaging 16.2 yards per carry on 45 attempts.

All these years later, the 6-foot-3, 219-pound receiver is still willing to do whatever it takes to get back on the field following his most recent hand hiccup.

Just probably not at running back.

“I don’t think that’s going to happen here,” said Janis, who recently underwent a procedure to fix the bones around his right index finger.
