Jordy Nelson has been huge during the Packers' "run the table" winning streak, but the team likely will be without the talented receiver in the Divisional Round game against the Cowboys.
He reportedly is dealing with two broken ribs, which means even if he does play, he won't be 100 percent. But if he's unable to go, quarterback Aaron Rodgers says the team will be just fine with the likes of Davante Adams, Ty Montgomery, Randall Cobb and Jared Cook as his targets.

“The beauty is we’ve had a lot of different guys have big games for us. It hasn’t been just one guy all season, even with Jordy out there," Rodgers said Wednesday. "Davante’s had some big games for us, Ty's had some big games for us, Randall’s had some big games, Jared’s had some big games. We have a lot of weapons. It’s going to, obviously, change some things if he doesn’t go, but the second half and the end of the second quarter, we didn’t have him either, and we scored a bunch of points. We’re confident.”
While Rodgers is saying all the right things, there's no doubt he's going to miss Nelson, assuming he doesn't play. Nelson is one of the best receivers in football when he's healthy, and that showed this season with his 14 touchdowns.
