For the Green Bay Packers, who continue to await Jordy Nelson's full recovery and return to the playing field, it's been a long year. So why should he be back participating in every drill just because he has been cleared to practice? The wideout with the repaired ACL is taking it slow in his return to practice, but that's not something that should concern Packers fans; after all, he still has a little less than three weeks to get himself ready to go 100%.
While Nelson looks to return to form, a counterpart on the defense is gaining widespread praise, and not just from those who follow the Packers.
