Wide receivers for the Green Bay Packers are trained to handle any position so that anyone can easily slide into a new slot because of an injury, or if coach Mike McCarthy likes a matchup. Nelson will sit out practice at midweek to focus on rehab for the injury, though McCarthy said his top receiver may be cleared to play in Dallas if he takes part in the Packers’ final practice on Saturday.
