And we haven’t even seen much of Myles White, Jared Abbrederis or the team’s group of undrafted rookies.
“I think all three of those guys understand the opportunity that was in front of them before Sunday’s game … regardless of what happened to Jordy“, McCarthy said. The Detroit Lions star went on to say, “But in my beliefs, and the way I believe, it was – God meant for Jordy to get hurt”. “We’re going to find a way”.

Added Cobb: “We’re going to dedicate this season to him and doing everything we can to make sure this train continues going in the direction we were leading toward before he went down”. “You see a lot of guys having these injuries and it’s hard and it’s the crappy part about the game”. At the 2014 NFL scouting combine, Janis ran the 40-yard dash in 4.42 seconds and jumped 37.5 inches in the vertical test. Nelson’s numbers in 2008 were 4.51 seconds and 31 inches. “It’s not something I’ve spoken to Aaron about, so I can’t speak on his behalf, but I feel confident”. Ty Montgomery lined up on the other end, but he can also play in the slot, while Jeff Janis, now the number four receiver, is an outside kind of guy.
The Packers official website tells us what happened, “Nelson fell to the ground untouched after catching an 8-yard pass from Aaron Rodgers at the Steelers 17-yard line on the Packers’ opening drive of the game”.
The typically guarded Thompson gave no indication as to whether he would look into veteran help specifically at receiver as teams start making more cuts over the next few weeks.
Ideally, that is where Adams and Montgomery will be helpful. “The medical staff feels like he’s taking more steps, but as far as being out on the field and what he’s doing during the course of the rehab, it’s just another example of where he’s at in the protocol”.
Kevin Ogletree: Ogletree has not been the most consistent receiver throughout his career, statistical wise, but he can play the position well. The Packers know they have to do everything in their power to protect their superstar quarterback, so it is reportedly very possible that Rodgers may be done playing in the preseason, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. “That’s how our wide receiving corps works. What counts, when it’s all said and done, is how they play in games”. DL Mike Daniels (ankle) returned to practice.
Jordy Nelson’s season-ending knee injury was unavoidable and inevitable. I just think back to February, March, April when no one’s here, and he’s in here every day.
