Pack 'still have some concerns' about Nelson

Jordy Nelson - WR - Green Bay Packers

Jan. 2, 2013 - 3:25 PM ET

Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Jordy Nelson (knee) "looked good" in his return to practice on Wednesday, but allowed the team's medical staff "still has some concerns."

Nelson will be re-evaluated on Thursday. Considering Nelson's injury woes this season, McCarthy's hesitance to declare him ready for Saturday's Wild Card game is understandable. However, Nelson played through the injury in Sunday's loss, and should be ready to roll vs. Minnesota even if he's not 100 percent. The Packers are on the precipice of having each of Nelson, Greg Jennings, Randall Cobb and Jermichael Finley active for the first time since Week 1.
