(RotoWire) Nelson (quad strain) is 50-50 to play in Sunday's game against the Bengals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Nelson was removed on the opening drive of Sunday's 34-23 loss to the Falcons and never re-entered the game. His absence left a spot for Geronimo Allison alongside Randall Cobb and Davante Adams, with Trevor Davis filling in late in the game after Cobb left with a shoulder injury. Nelson's injury seems to be a bit more serious than Cobb's, as the slot receiver was merely deemed day-to-day after having an MRI on Monday. Both receivers figure to be limited participants or non-participants on Wednesday's injury report.

It doesn't really matter what you say or think, when you get older you are more susceptible to injuries and injuries lingering more longer periods of time. It's just a fact of getting older. His age may or may not have been a factor for what happened this time but is certainly could be an issue throughout the season. He may be perfectly fine the rest of the year as well but he is getting older and eventually he's just not going to bounce back like he has in the past.

I didn't realize 32 was young for an NFL player? I know that WRs can play into their late 30's but performing at elite status is not expected. Once you get into your 30's there are going to be increased chances for injury and digression in performance. There's plenty of data out their to back it up.

Sorry, but this post is pure trash.
Allen Robinson, Corey Coleman, David Johnson... etc, etc. etc. are all considerably younger and have all been sent to the IR. Being 32 had absolutely nothing to do with Nelson missing time on Sunday Night. Nothing at all.

Can you please link one study that shows more players get injured at 32 then at say 26? .... I'll wait patiently.
The bolded, sure - but at 32 Jordy is a few years away from not being able to compete physically anymore.

I didn't say it was the exact reason. Just saying he could be more susceptible to injury and digression at an older age. It's not uncommon.

It's generally harder to recover from injuries the older you get. You don't have to believe me, I don't really care.

That's not what you said originally - and even that is somewhat of a stretch.
This is what you said:
So 32 year old players get kneed in the quad more often than 28 year old players?

I didn't know he got kneed in the quad. I had just read that he pulled up gimpy running a route.

I've heard a knee to the quad and also a strain?? Even FBG is calling it a strain on the daily emails. I'm hoping the first, bc that will come down to pain management and not really a risk of reinjury.
Knee to the quad - obviously no correlation to age. strain - debatable for age relation. I think soft tissue injuries are more prevalent as you get older.

So this all goes back to my point of the annoying situation where you have no idea if he is going to play. So there is no way you can put him in your lineup. And will assuredly go one for weeks.

SO what are the chances Nelson is on the Packers in 2018?

I called this back in week 3
Big fan of Nelson, though, he's a great one in Packer history.
I called this back in week 3 when top corners started shadowing Adams instead of Nelson. Writing was on the wall way back then ... Nelson is expendable at that price, Adams took his job.

This, I think Adams will still be the same guy numbers wise, I don't think he will be what Jordy was in his prime (a lock for 1300 + yards and 10+ touchdowns. I think Allison will be a good secondary option, Cobb will do what he always does and Graham will take Nelson's red zone shots.
I still see Adams as a guy right around 1000 yards and 8 to 12 touchdowns, and I am not saying it in a bad way, I just see him as a low wr1 or high end wr2 for fantasy and can't put him up there Brown, OBJ, and Hopkins.

I also think this is a great time to buy low on Jordy. I could see him going some where and putting up number similar to Larry Fitzgerald, maybe a few less catches and yards, but more touchdowns. I could see grabbing him for a mid to late 3rd in dynasty.

He didn't look done at all. He looked like a guy who didn't have chemistry with a new QB, after playing 9 years with only 1 guy,other than a small stretch of 2013. There were dozens of plays where Nelson was wide open for sizable gains and Hundley either didn't see him, made a poor throw, or looked elsewhere.
Nelson is still at the very least a good #2 WR. Somebody is going to get a steal here. I kinda feel bad for teams that blew money on inferior WR's because they didn't know Nelson would be available.
