1^st time he has had this serious of an injury in 18 years of playing
football.  Nelson said he will still be
involved with the team.  Head coach Mike
McCarthy said he thought that Nelson was one of the 1^st guys in the
locker room on Tuesday.   The Packers
host the Eagles on Saturday night.  You’ll
hear the game on KFIZ.
