Reading JSOnline and it says Nelson will miss at least a few weeks with a sprained knee. He was on crutchs after the game. This puts the Packers down to 4 healthy WR. Meaning the TE should get more invovled.
Suffering a setbackWide receiver Jordy Nelson, who had put together strong back-to-back games and had a 100-yard kickoff return Sunday called back because of a penalty, will be out several weeks with a knee sprain. He needed the aid of crutches Monday.
Nelson was hurt in the first quarter after muffing a punt and did not return.
As a result, James Jones, who had been sharing time with Nelson, will become the full-time No. 3 receiver. Jones had his best game of the season in the victory over Detroit on Sunday, catching two passes for 55 yards, including a 47-yard touchdown.
"He's been playing about 30 plays a game and had some opportunities yesterday, and he definitely cashed in on them," coach Mike McCarthy said. "He's even trying to play a little more on special teams. I think James is improving and we have all the confidence in the world in James."
McCarthy also said that tackle Mark Tauscher would need at least another week of rehab before he was ready to practice in full and would not be available to play Sunday.
