Packers, Rodgers can get by without Nelson

Packers receiver Jordy Nelson may be the best NFL player to suffer an injury this preseason. But smart Packers fans are not freaking out about Nelson’s loss.

That’s because the Packers have proven themselves to be a well-built team with good depth, and the ability to withstand the loss of any player not named Aaron Rodgers.

Nelson is out for the season with a knee injury, and that certainly hurts: Nelson was the Packers’ No. 1 receiver, and he was fourth in the NFL in receiving yards and tied for second in receiving touchdowns last year.
