Green Bay Packers receiver Jordy Nelson suffered a shoulder injury that caused him to leave his team's Week 16 game against the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday.

The Packers announced Nelson would not return to the game as a result of his shoulder injury. He suffered the injury while making a diving catch.

Nelson got off to a hot start this year with six touchdowns in the first five weeks. However, he has struggled since Aaron Rodgers went down for the first time with a shoulder injury.

He entered the week with 50 catches, 471 receiving yards and six touchdowns.
