Jordy Nelson suffered fractured ribs vs. Giants

Jordy Nelson's status for Sunday's game against the Cowboys does not look good.

The wide out suffered at least two fractured ribs in the Packer's wild-card win over the Giants, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported. Rapoport adds it will take a tremendous effort for Nelson to play.

Packers coach Mike McCarthy told reporters earlier Monday that his star wide receiver has a shot to suit up for this Sunday's NFC divisional-round tilt with the Cowboys.

Nelson spent Sunday night in the hospital after taking a vicious shot to the ribs from Giants cornerback Leon Hall in the first half of Green Bay's 38-13 win over New York.
