Jennings is bulking up in an effort to win the starting job next to Morgan Burnett. He's the slight favorite over Jerron McMillian. May 4 - 2:55 PM

The Packers "seem perfectly content" with M.D. Jennings and Jerron McMillian competing for the starting free safety spot.

Green Bay released Charles Woodson, and has since added nobody to the group. The Packers passed on Matt Elam and Johnathan Cyprien to take DE Datone Jones at No. 26 in the draft. Jennings started ten games last season, recording 52 tackles and an interception. He looks like the favorite.

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports the Packers are "very high" on safeties M.D. Jennings, Sean Richardson, and Jerron McMillian.

One of the three will likely be the starter next to Morgan Burnett in 2013. After Charles Woodson was injured last season, Jennings stepped into the lineup and started ten games, racking up 52 tackles, two pass breakups, and an interception. Richardson spent much of the year on injured reserve with a neck injury, and McMillian was the No. 3 safety for most of the season.

Packers S M.D. Jennings was sent to the locker room for X-rays on his shoulder during the second quarter of Sunday's Week 4 game versus the Saints.

Jennings was picking up extra playing time versus the Saints' three-wide sets. He's questionable to return, pending the X-ray results.

M.D. Jennings has surprisingly entered the mix for a starting safety job in Green Bay.

Undrafted out of Arkansas State, Jennings played 15 games as a core special teamer last season. "I think (Jennings) has made real progress from the first year," said DC Dom Capers. "He's bigger and stronger. He's all business." Jennings has shown impressive instincts and ball skills in practice. He'll have to overtake Charlie Peprah and hold off rookie Jerron McMillian for the starting job opposite Morgan Burnett.
