Jordy Nelson tore his ACL during a preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Green Bay Packers wide receiver remains stunned at the season-ending injury.
According to Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, Nelson believes the career-altering event was nothing more than a fluke.
“It’s just honestly bad timing. When you plant and you turn and you explode and put force into it, if you do it I guess at the exact wrong time, it tears. It’s crazy how the body works. It’s crazy that you can make that move a gazillion times over 18 years of playing football — and probably more harsher moves than that — and be fine.
