Cheese Curds, 10/10: Jordy Nelson’s injury still remains unclear

We at least have a slight idea of a few things that it’s not.

NFL: Green Bay Packers at Dallas Cowboys Matthew Emmons-USA TODAY Sports

One of the big mysteries coming out of the Green Bay Packers’ victory in Dallas on Sunday is what is going on with wide receiver Jordy Nelson. Number 87 was not on the field for the Packers’ final, game-winning drive, as he was replaced by Geronimo Allison.

Nelson was coy about the specifics of the injury after the game, leading some fans and media members to hope that there would be more of an explanation from the coaching staff on Monday.

That did not happen.

For now, we will need to wait one more day before learning what Nelson’s problem is, as the team will need to issue some clarification in Wednesday’s injury report. But for now, we unfortunately have to sit and wait.

Here’s a look at what we do know about Nelson, as well as the rest of your Packers news on this Tuesday morning.
