Most of the backlash directed at Quin stemmed from a sliver of broader comments he made about Nelson, who tore the ACL in his right knee in the Green Bay Packers’ preseason loss Sunday.

Nelson, who’s going into his eighth season, was injured on a noncontact play early in the first quarter of Sunday’s game against the Steelers.
With this latest incident involving Jordy Nelson added to the string of injuries accumulated over the course of the NFL preseason, Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers further pointed out that the number of games should be shortened.
Jordy Nelson’s season-ending knee injury was unavoidable and inevitable.
Nelson’s injury depletes a Packers roster that many already saw as weakened and vulnerable in the NFC North. Rodgers will now have to lead a what had been a dominant passing attack without his go-to target. It is a realistic expectation to infer that Janis will be expected to be responsible for around 500 yards this season while his touchdown total will depend on the chemistry developed with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Nothing’s changed. Our goal hasn’t changed, ” said McCarthy. It’s been kind of, I don’t want to say surprising, but wonderful. We need to know who we can count on.
“I don’t mean that God particularly said, ‘Hey, I want to take Jordy Nelson out, ‘ ” Quin said. The receptions and receiving yards were career-highs for Nelson. “He will miss the remainder of the season”.
“In order to be a good offense, you have to innovate every single year”, Rodgers said.
But he said he would leave it up to coach Mike McCarthy to decide how much he plays against Philadelphia Saturday night at Lambeau Field. It’s quite possible that Montgomery is just a smarter player as he did play Division I college football and went to Stanford, a place that is not easy to get a degree from.
It doesn’t look like the Packers have any interest in bringing in a receiver from the outside, either. “I’ll do my part”. I don’t think that will be a big detriment with the work we’ve had in the offseason and that. Davante Adams, in his second year out of Fresno State, will now be filling the Cobb role.
Rodgers has been vocal about not liking preseason games, so he likely won’t be too upset about missing the final two warm-up contests, but the reason for keeping him out is two-fold. “To be honest with you, it’s been great, but I’m ready for it to be done with because it keeps reminding me”, Nelson said.

“The whole competition pushed us to be better”, Hoyer said.
