The Packers are without their top receiver after Jordy Nelson left Sunday's game early in the second quarter with a rib injury.

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.
