Should the Packers have been playing WR Jeff Janis all along?

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- When the Green Bay Packers signed James Jones the week of the regular-season opener, it knocked Jeff Janis down a peg on the depth chart at receiver.

Jones immediately became Aaron Rodgers’ No. 3 receiver, and Janis could barely get off the bench.
