Twitter: Mike McCarthy gives Jordy Nelson Injury update

[TheHerd]

Nelson wasn't a worry even before he got hurt. Cobb and Adams are more built to beat our defense.

I still think that he will try to play.

 

[jday]

They gonna shoot him up with the good stuff and roll him on the field.

Take two hits from JJ Wilcox and tell him who hit him in the morning...

Gamesmanship by McCarthy. I rate his chance of playing at less than 10%. Playing him would be a liability anyway. One hit from Wilcox would likely send him to the bench. Considering how they performed after Nelson went out, it makes no sense to risk further significant injury (like a ruptured spleen) to a player that won't be much more than a decoy...that's if he doesn't want to get smacked around in the Dallas secondary. I don't think he plays.

 

[manster4ever]

a decoy at best

That's what I was going to suggest....he might dress and even play. IF he goes out into a pattern, we still have to cover him.

2 broken ribs. He is absolutely not playing.

 

[JoeKing]

Too right.

We have the most physical offense in football and we are fresh, healthy, and rested.

Think about it: The OL is dominant, and we all know Zeke is physical-- but Dak is a load as a runner, Witten is tough and physical, Dez is all about power and fight, and we have a good group of blocking WRs.

The only way the Pack can win is if their defense forces a bunch of turnovers and really limits our offense. If our offense plays it's game-- then it will be very difficult for GB to get ahead of us and force us to play to their tempo.

While what you say is true, they have an equally effective offence so expect a shootout. Best defense wins the game. I hope that's us.

 

[AmericasTeam81]

He ain't playing

 

[Kevin T]

Keep him at the line and beat the crap out of his left side.

 

[Howboutdemcowboys31]

JJ Wilcox, you have 1 job.

Post of the year candidate

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

We need our safeties laying some wood on the Packer receivers. I get the sense that some of them can be intimidated a bit

JJ Wilcox ... bring your best shots!

 

[AbeBeta]

JJ Wilcox ... bring your best shots!

Heath lays wood as well

 

[jobberone]

Depends on where the fractures are and what they look like.

 

[Hawkeye19]

While what you say is true, they have an equally effective offence so expect a shootout. Best defense wins the game. I hope that's us.

Well, our D is averaging 19.8 points against at home and GB is averaging 28.2 against on the road.

I like our chances

 

[cityochamps]

showing the entire game on NFL network now just saw the hit again man it was punishing

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Lol! My bad Irv88!

Haha, good to have fun

 

[rockj7]

Crying Jordy...

 

[jrumann59]

Play or not how effective will he be?

especially with wilcox roaming. Fractured ribs for WR or RB or TE way too many body shots especially for a #1 WR.

 

[LatinMind]

They gonna shoot him up with the good stuff and roll him on the field.

He's 100% not going to play. shoot him up all you want. them ribs affect more then just pain tolerance, This is exactly what dallas does with dez. Say he could play when they know hes not even attempting to suit up

 

[jcollins28]

Broken ribs? No way is he playing. I race karts and have had some rib injuries. Nothing broke but bruised. Rib injuries are nothing to play with. If he truly has two broken ribs I can't see how he plays.
