Nelson, who exited last week’s wild-card win over the Giants, is unlikely to suit up in Sunday’s divisional round matchup at Dallas. Adams struggled in Nelson’s absence a year ago, but he now has a chance to show just how far he’s come.
Adams finished the regular season with 997 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns, before adding 125 yards and a touchdown in last week’s win. And he did so without Jordy on the field against New York.
Another challenge now awaits. For the first time all season, Green Bay’s opponents will prepare for a Nelson-less offense.
