Knee 'hiccup' raises level of concern over Jordy Nelson's return

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Jordy Nelson uncertainty meter has moved a little closer to the dangerous end.

There was already a sense of the unknown – there always is when a skill-position player is coming off an ACL reconstruction – about the Green Bay Packers' Pro Bowl receiver. But when he revealed on Tuesday that he experienced what he called “a hiccup” with his other knee, it threw into question not only when Nelson would return but also whether he will be able to perform at his pre-ACL tear level.

Maybe it’s good news that the "hiccup" was not in the right ACL that landed Nelson on the physically unable to perform list to start camp.
