The preseason didn’t tell the Green Bay Packers anything about whether Jordy Nelson can return to his Pro Bowl level.
They’re just going to have to take Nelson at his word that he’s ready for next week’s opener at Jacksonville.
“I’m ready to go,” Nelson said an interview on the broadcast of Thursday’s preseason finale at Kansas City. “We’ve got a week of practice left. This week was a normal week for me. Next week will be the same.”
For the third straight preseason game, Nelson went through pregame warmups but then changed into street clothes and watched from the sideline.
