Jordy Nelson caught the ball, spun and prepared to dart downfield.

Two steps later, Green Bay's Pro Bowl wide receiver was on the turf, Jo... Carter Jerseyhis left knee injured and his season very much in doubt. While Nelson was able to gingerly walk to the sideline early in the first quarter of Sunday's 24-19 exhibition loss to Pittsburgh, it might be the last sign of Nelson in his familiar No. 87 jersey this year.

While Packers coach Mike McCarthy stressed the defending NFC North champions ''will look for good news'' when Nelson is re-evaluated in Green Bay on Monday, quarterback Aaron Rodgers' expressed equal parts frustration and mystification.

''He got rolled up on but he walked it off,'' Steelers right tackler Marcus Gilbert said. ''I was hoping that it wasn't nothing too bad. Once he got carted off, it struck me.''

While Nelson and Pouncey are sidelined, Rodgers and Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger appear ready to go.

Rodgers completed 4 of 5 passes for 57 yards during two series of work, with one drive ending with a touchdown run by Eddie Lacy and the other with Rodgers getting sacked by James Harrison for a safety.

''We've done some really good things the first two weeks, but shoot, there's a lot of football still,'' McCarthy said.

Roethlisberger finished 11 of 14 for 100 yards and a score, though it took some time to get going.

The Steelers struggled in the first quarter - a 58-yard touchdown [url=http://www.officialnationalsshop.com/authentic-27-jordan-zimmermann-jersey.... from Roethlisberger to Antonio Brown was wiped out by an offensive pass interference penalty - but regrouped in the second. Working out of the hurry up offense, Roethlisberger led the Steelers 51 yards in seven plays, the last one a little 5-yard flip to a wide open Markus Wheaton that put the Steelers up 9-8 before the reserves took over.

''We've done a ton of red zone work and that's one of the plays we've been working on and we got the look we wanted,'' said Wheaton, who added he's never been that open when the offense has run that play during training camp.
