The Facts:
So much for the Green Bay Packers have all their receivers back and healthy. Three days before they're set to play the San Francisco 49ers in a divisional playoff game at Candlestick Park, the Packers were without Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and Jarrett Boykin.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Nelson's injury has been a mystery since he went out briefly in the wild-card game against Minnesota, although there was some indication he might have been kicked in the calf. He swore after the game that it was not the knee or ankle he had hurt previously, but he's listed with the ankle. HC Mike McCarthy hopes Nelson can return Thursday. ... Cobb's absence comes a day after he practiced and was flu related. The Packers have had a run of flu absences for several weeks and he appears to be the latest to have it. Boykin (ankle) tried to practice on Tuesday, but it probably was too early given the way his ankle was bent in the season-finale against Minnesota at the Metrodome. Jermichael Finley (hamstring) practiced fully.
