Jordy Nelson out for 2015 season with knee injury

The Green Bay Packers lost one of their best players to injury on the opening drive of Sunday's 24-19 preseason loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The initial diagnosis on No. 1 wide receiver Jordy Nelson's knee injury is a torn ACL, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported, via a source informed of the situation. The team is awaiting MRI results to confirm, Rapoport added.

Within a span of four days in late August, the 2015 season lost two of the NFL's most valuable wideouts in Nelson and Panthers second-year star Kelvin Benjamin.
