Packers receiver Jordy Nelson takes 'another step' in return from ACL injury

Green Bay — It wasn't the first time Jordy Nelson has caught a pass from Aaron Rodgers since tearing his anterior cruciate ligament last preseason, but the Green Bay Packers' elite receiver-quarterback duo had its most extensive on-field work together Thursday.

Nelson, running full speed, caught passes from Rodgers on an assortment of 15-yard out routes and shallow slants during Thursday's organized team activities at Clarke Hinkle Field. While three other Packers quarterbacks worked on individual position drills, Rodgers worked with Nelson off to the side during a period midway through the session.
