Pouncey carted off with left ankle injury
Nelson hurt his left knee during the Packers preseason game against the Steelers on Sunday.
“I think we can be really good, but just saying things never works”, Pouncey said. Defensively, the Steelers yielded 253.1 yards in passing and 100.3 yards in rushing. The Steelers couldn’t convert on its two-point conversion, keep the Packers in front, 19-18. In rushing, Alonzo Harris had 41 yards in sevent tries while Eddie Lacy had 36 yards in five runs. The Wisconsin product hit Richard Rodgers for a 21-yard touchdown late in the second quarter, putting the Packers ahead 16-9 and giving them a lead they wouldn’t relinquish until late in the fourth quarter.
Nelson managed to gingerly make it to the sideline under his own power before being taken to the locker room for further examination, a potentially devastating blow for the Packers and for the wide receiver who set career highs in receptions (98) and yards receiving (1,519) in 2014.
It incorporates new technology and interactive displays to allow fans to look back at the Packers’ achievements in history while celebrating the team today.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers will surely find success with any receiver, but Nelson is his top target, seeing more than 150 passes thrown his way last season.
To lose such an integral part of the offense in an otherwise meaningless game is a frustrating blow felt far too often in the preseason.
Manziel sat out practice on August 11 with a sore elbow, but played two nights later in an exhibition against Washington. Results of an MRI test are needed to confirm the injury.
