Packers receiver Jordy Nelson was hospitalized Sunday night after taking a shot to his ribs during the second quarter of Sunday's 38-13 playoff victory over the Giants.
Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy said Monday Nelson was released from the hospital, but would not practice until Saturday, if at all this week. The Packers will play the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in next Sunday's NFC divisional playoff game.
The injury occurred on a first-down pass to Nelson to start Green Bay's fourth possession against the Giants. Nelson leapt to catch the high pass from Aaron Rodgers and was hit on his left side by Giants defensive back Leon Hall.
