Packers quarantine sick Jordy Nelson ahead of matchup with Falcons

Injured Packers' receiver Jordy Nelson is sick, so Green Bay did the only thing that makes sense: they quarantined him on Friday. Ed Werder of ESPN reports that head coach Mike McCarthy said Nelson wasn’t with the team Friday because they were worried that his illness was contagious. The four-time Pro Bowler participated on a limited basis in practice on Wednesday and Thursday due to the broken ribs he suffered in the team's divisional round matchup with the Giants. His status for the NFC Championship against the Atlanta Falcons is still up in the air.
