GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Jordy Nelson's knees aren't going to keep him from playing football on Sunday.
How much the receiver is on the field in the Green Bay Packers' season opener at Jacksonville may simply come down to how much he can stand the heat.
Otherwise, Nelson is ready and eager to play for first time in more than a year.
''I'm playing football,'' Nelson said Tuesday in a brief response when asked if his knees were an issue.
Nelson tore the ACL in his right knee in a preseason game last summer at Pittsburgh, an injury that knocked him out for the 2015 season.
