and the rumored news re: the severity of the injury is catastrophic for the Packers and their fans…
The initial diagnosis on #Packers WR Jordy Nelson is a torn ACL, source said. Horrible news. Awaiting MRI results to confirm.

It looks like an MRI still needs to be performed, but, regardless: this is terrible for Jordy, who is coming off his best season as a pro and will likely be out for the entire 2015-2016 season — if the initial diagnosis is confirmed.
Damn the preseason to hell for eternity.
