The Green Bay Packers lose KR/PR Will Blackmon for the year

The Packers have lost KR/PR Will Blackmon for the season after he tore his ACL on Monday Night in Minnesota.  He returned 10 kickoffs for 233 yards (23.3 avg) and 3 punts for 11 yards (3.7 avg).  Blackmon is a good player but WR Jordy Nelson should be able to replace him.  Nelson has returned 6 kickoffs for 176 yards (29.3 avg) and 3 punts for 14 yards (4.7 avg).  The Packers might have to use Nelson a little less on offense so he doesn’t get worn down.  He has caught 7 passes for 104 yards (14.9 avg) with a TD this year.
