GREEN BAY, Wis. -- It appears?Jordy Nelson will go into the regular season without any preseason action.?The Green Bay Packers receiver said Sunday that he doesnt expect to play in Thursdays preseason finale at Kansas City. If thats the case, he will head into the regular-season opener at Jacksonville on Sept. 11 without a single game rep since he tore the ACL in his right knee more than a year ago.Nelson, who was activated off the physically unable to perform list on Aug. 17, went through pregame warm-ups before each of the last two preseason games but then watched from the sidelines in street clothes.I think if everything wouldve gone smooth coming into camp, we wouldve been in a different situation, said Nelson, who had a setback with his left knee shortly before training camp. But its the situation were in, and I think weve handled it well. Were where we need to be. We have two weeks of what most likely for me will be normal practices going into Jacksonville, and I think well be ready to go.In practice last week, Nelson did only selected individual drills. In fact, he called his first outing?hardly even a practice.The intensity should ramp up this week. Nelson said he expected to do some team (11-on-11) drills in practice on Monday and Tuesday even if its just running scout-team reps with Aaron Rodgers and the rest of the starters who arent expected to play.Its important for Jordy to get a ton of work this week with Aaron, Packers?coach Mike?McCarthy said. Thats really the focus. I feel very good about where he is. Its just reps and just the coordination with the concepts that were preparing to do. But I think Jordy looks great.Holding Nelson out of the preseason finale isnt only a precautionary move. Given that Rodgers and the rest of the starters arent expected to play against the Chiefs, McCarthy?wouldnt send Nelson out with the backups.Obviously, I havent practiced a full practice, Nelson said. So thats part of it. If I were to go this week -- which, I havent been told Im not, I would assume Im not -- I might be the only one going this week. That might be the other reason.Nelson last played in a game on Aug. 23, 2015, when he tore the ACL in his right knee. He sat out the entire offseason with his eye on being cleared for the start of training camp. That didnt happen because Nelson sustained an injury to his left knee while working out over the summer. So far, hes had only two official practices plus two other light workouts that were closed to the public.Bruins Jerseys China .

Eddie Shore Jersey Large .Y. -- Canadas Kaillie Humphries and Heather Moyse have another World Cup gold medal after winning the two-women bobsled race on Saturday in Lake Placid, N.James Mafia Lauerman eagerly awaited as the voting process closed for Smash Summit 3. I was in the car and couldnt look at the votes in the last 30 minutes, he said.And after the results were finalized? I was so relieved, he said.?Matthew Zaborowski, a longtime friend of Mafia, organized a massive rally to accumulate votes for the New England native. Eighty-four of Mafias supporters accounted for 15,000 votes in the final minutes as Mafia jumped from last to first.The whole New England community coming together reminds me of what family members do for one another in their time of need, Mafia explained. Im very thankful to them.The results were met with some hostility, as fans complained that other players were more deserving than Mafia to attend the Summit. Mafia started the year in 91st on the Melee It On Me annual ranking charts, the lowest of any qualified Summit candidate ever. Despite the criticism aimed his way, Mafia remained grounded and stated, I know that New England has my back no matter what. I just gotta do my thing and be myself.As the Summit players drafted their four-man crews for the Nov. 3-6 event in Los Angeles, Joseph Mango Marquez picked Mafia as the last selection -- and he did not disappoint. In crews, Mafia was sent in as a counter-pick against Weston Westballz Dennis. Many were skeptical of how he would do, but he managed to take Westballzs three remaining stocks while losing only one of his own. He lost to James Duck Ma on the counteer-pick, but Mafia maintained the advantage for his team.ddddddddddddIn doubles, William Leffen Hjelte and Mafia teamed up.Despite never playing together before, they surprised everyone by defeating both PlupBox (Juan Hungrybox Debiedma and Justin Plup McGrath) and PewFat (Zachary SFAT Cordoni and Kevin PewPewU Toy). In each of the sets, Mafia played the supportive role magnificently by protecting Leffen, covering options and extending combos. In winners finals, they kept it close with Adam Armada Lindgren and Jason Mew2King Zimmerman, widely considered the worlds best duo, before losing in four games. In losers, they lost to PewFat in the run-back set to finish in third.The phenomenal run silenced Mafias critics.He did not see the same level of success in singles. He lost quickly to Mango in winners and Westballz in losers to finish in 13th place. Mafia felt disappointed with his singles play, but was happy with what he gained from the overall weekend.This event was an absolute dream come true, he said, and I was able to get a ton of practice and have fun for an entire weekend.With the conclusion of Smash Summit 3, many eyes will be on Mafia to see whether he sees a skill improvement similar to Swedish Delight. He leaves California in high spirits, and now hes back in the New England region on the grind again, hungrier than ever. ' ' '
