From JSO:
On another matter, I thought I'd relay this story coach Mike McCarthy told me at the scouting combine about wide receiver Jordy Nelson.
He said the bursa sac injury Nelson suffered in his left knee was worse than most people thought and definitely affected him on the Packers' final scoring drive when they settled for a field goal. If you remember, QB Aaron Rodgers threw a corner route to Nelson on third and goal from the 5-yard line and the ball skimmed off the receiver's hands..
McCarthy said he watched the tape several times and that it was obvious that Nelson could not push off his left leg the way he normally would and, if he weren't injured, would have caught the pass for a touchdown, giving the Packers a 10-point lead.
Nelson will be fine - the injury heals on its own - but McCarthy said it was bad enough that Nelson was taken in a wheel chair to the team plane after the game."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted Thompson

He'll be fine after an offseason back home. On the Nelson farm they put those joint injuries in a cow vagina and it feels good.
According to the cows anyway.[QUOTE=George Cumby] ...every draft (Ted) would pick a solid, dependable, smart, athletically limited linebacker...the guy who isn't doing drugs, going to strip bars, knocking around his girlfriend or making any plays of game changing significance.

So Nelson was in a wheelchair and then on crutches a couple days after the game, but still played.
...and Cutler "couldn't go" in the second half of the NFC Championship game, but was seen out that night walking without a limp. The Bears can make their excuses all they want. I'm glad Cutler is theirs and not ours, and I suspect there are some players on the Bears who question his desire.
