Report: Packers Rookie WR Jeff Janis Diagnosed with Shingles
According to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com:
Finally got the diagnosis on Jeff Janis: Shingles. Expects to be back Monday.

Shingles is viral infection that can leave a painful rash, caused by the chickenpox virus.
Janis was placed on the team's Non-Football Illness (NFI) list on the eve of training camp and has yet to partcipate in the team's first six practices.
If Janis, indeed, returns on Monday, he will have not missed a single preseason game, still giving him ample time to make a push for a roster spot.

Painful, but hopefully will clear up and he can get into the mix!
