“The worst pain I’ve ever felt.” That was how Jordy Nelson described the rib injury he suffered against the New York Giants in the NFC Wild Card Game two weeks ago. Progress has been made, though, with regards to that injury since that time with Nelson a limited participant in Green Bay’s (+5) practice last Wednesday. Can he make a shock return against the Falcons later today? Read ahead to find out.
Sad to say but Jordy Nelson’s availability for Sunday’s NFC Championship Game remains up in the air. The good news about Nelson is that he’s breathing easy again and the wide receiver was cleared to catch passes in a limited capacity during Wednesday’s practice. That being said, Nelson acknowledges the fact that it wouldn’t do the Green Bay offense many favors if he’s running at just half-speed. Compounding Nelson’s woes is that he’s also dealing with an illness right now. He’s got the bug that’s also affecting Aaron Rodgers right now.
