GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers doesn’t want to put any undue pressure on his friend, and he doesn’t want to oversimplify the Green Bay Packers' offense.
Nevertheless, the Packers quarterback knows as well as anyone: The offense was not the same last year without wide receiver Jordy Nelson.
And Rodgers believes that a healthy Nelson will cure much of what ailed the Packers last season.
Nelson, who suffered a season-ending torn ACL in his right knee during the team’s Aug. 23 preseason loss at Pittsburgh, remains on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list after suffering what he termed a “hiccup” in his left knee while working out in advance of training camp.
