‘Dancing with the Stars 23’ spoilers: Jana Kramer’s partner Gleb Savchenko injured

Jana -The injury bug is striking again on “Dancing with the Stars,” and for the second straight week, it’s going after one of the pros more so than some of the actual Stars taking part this season.

In a post on Facebook, Gleb Savchenko confirmed that he is dealing with a knee injury that is sidelining him from taking part directly in rehearsals with his partner Jana Kramer; as a result of that, Alan Bersten is stepping in to work with her while he continues to take part in more of an advisory role. This news comes after James Hinchcliffe’s partner Sharna Burgess was injured last week, which led to Jenna Johnson stepping in and helping James score a perfect 30.

Do we think that this injury will cause Jana many problems? We’re not so sure of that, mostly because she’s being scored independently from what her partner is doing. The key thing is making sure that the comfort level is there with Alan just in case the two need to dance together on Monday. If she doesn’t feel connected to him on the same level that she was Gleb, that’s where things could start to get hairy in terms of her scores … but it may be a little early to start to speculate on that for now.

Jana at the moment is one of those Stars we consider to be on the cusp of making it close to the end alongside Terra Jole. Marilu Henner seems like the person in the most danger of being eliminated next, and then the field starts to be a little more complicated following the exit of Ryan Lochte and Cheryl Burke on this past episode. Laurie Hernandez remains the consensus favorite, and we have zero reason to think that this is changing, even with James’ dominance.
