Jordy Nelson lands on PUP after tweaking non-ACL knee

Jordy Nelson's much-anticipated return to the field will come later than expected.

NFL Media's Mike Garafolo reported Tuesday from Packers camp that the Green Bay wideout recently tweaked his knee during a workout, which prompted the team to place him on the PUP list.

Thankfully for Nelson, though, the injury is to his left knee -- not his surgically repaired right one -- leaving the receiver to say: "It's not the ACL. No one needs to freak out."

Nelson called the setback a "hiccup," but any complication for the 31-year-old pass-catcher is enough to keep Packers fans up at night.
