Do you want Jordy Nelson to play this week?

---

I doubt he will play with broken ribs and all. Ya I def would like him to play we need that guy whom knows how rodgers works and is our #1 wr. But would be better if he was fully healthy for the SB ... just got to get there.

Give him the rest and be as fit as possible for the SB. Dallas game proved others can step up

If he can't run because of breathing issues, no, sit him down.

The issue with the NFL is no team discloses accurate information on injuries so we don't know if its bruised ribs, broken ribs, fractured ribs, removed ribs, amputated ribs, etc ...

If we activate Nelson, who do we sit? I think you still need to activate all WR's because if you don't activate Trevor Davis and Nelson gets one hit and is out, you are then short handed.

I would like some gamemanship to be played. Have Jordy participate full in practice so the Falcons have to prepare for him and then sit him for the game. Yeah, I'm a dirty asshole, so what? WE GOING FOR THE SUPER BOWL!!!!

If he can play without drastically greater risk to the injury or other risk to his health (like punctured lung or something) and he will not be there just as a decoy, yes it would be nice to have him.

I will leave it to him and the doctors to determine. I'm sure if the bone structure is sound, they will be able to build a pad that will protect the area from hits.

I'd rather be able to breathe than play in a football game.

This is the big time. He's a pro. Wrap him up. Shoot him full of juice and run him out on to the field.

In reality Jordy will do everything he can to get out there. If he can't play it's not for a lack of effort or desire.

I'd agree with it if people wouldn't be targeting him. If all it takes to re-injure him and possibly more seriously is another shot to the ribs, no point in putting him in. Rest him up for the super bowl. Nelson isn't going to make or break this game unless we have more WR injuries.

If we don't win this week, then resting Jordy won't make a lot of difference. He will have the whole off season to rest.
That said, if he's NOT cleared by the doctors, then he should NOT play, period.

having him practice as a decoy, is NOT against the rules. In fact, it would be the right thing to do. Make Atlanta plan for him. Takes time away from other things for them to plan about.

The first part of my comment was half in jest. Clearly Jordy will try and go no matter what. It will be up the the medical staff and HC to hold him back if need be.

Except for New England, opportunities like this don't come along every year.
