Jordy Nelson (knee) remained out of Packers practice Wednesday.

Randall Cobb, meanwhile, was missing with an unknown injury. Nelson may not practice at all this week as he stays off his knee, but there's a strong chance he still suits up for Saturday's Divisional Round showdown with the 49ers. However, he's clearly going to be at far less than 100 percent, and may be no better than Aaron Rodgers' fourth option.

Jordy Nelson (knee) was held out of Packers practice on Tuesday.

Nelson said he felt "great" after limping off the field late in last week's game. His snaps were severely limited, however, and it's clear that the knee injury is a hindrance. We still expect him to play Saturday night, albeit as the fourth receiver.

Jordy Nelson downplayed the fact that he limped off the field late in Saturday's playoff win over the Vikings.

"I feel great," Nelson said. Asked what he did to his leg late in the game, Nelson replied, "Nothing." Coach Mike McCarthy limited Nelson's playing time versus the Vikes, as the receiver is clearly not 100 percent.

Coach Mike McCarthy said Jordy Nelson's decreased snaps in Saturday's playoff win "just kind of unfolded that way based on personnel groups."

The Packers "wanted to be smart with his reps" after suffering a knee injury in the season finale. Nelson played 19-of-68 snaps compared to 38 for Randall Cobb, 49 for Greg Jennings, and 66 for James Jones. Nelson's work in practice this week will likely determine his playing time at San Francisco.

Jordy Nelson caught three balls for 51 yards in the Packers' Wild Card win over the Vikings.

On the sideline for long stretches, Nelson was a non-factor aside from Green Bay's final drive of the first half, when Aaron Rodgers hit him for a gain of 22 yards followed by 23-yarder to get the Packers to the Vikings' three-yard line. Green Bay capped the drive with a John Kuhn touchdown. Nelson clearly is not 100 percent recovered from his knee injury, but his health should be better in the Divisional Round at San Francisco.

Jordy Nelson (knee) is listed as probable for the Packers' Wild Card Round matchup with Minnesota.

Nelson lit up the Vikings for 87 yards and a touchdown in Week 17, including a 73-yard gain in fill-in slot corner Marcus Sherels' coverage. Nelson might not be 100 percent, but he should be an asset on the perimeter when he's in.
