Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson will spend the next few weeks recovering from an offseason hip surgery, head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters Wednesday.
#Packers WR Jordy Nelson had a "cleanup" procedure on his hip this offseason. Should be fine in 6-8 weeks. Was on crutches at @Bucks game.

The relatively short timetable would suggest that Nelson's procedure was indeed minor, and he'll likely return to the team for the majority of the scheduled offseason workouts as a result.
Nelson is coming off an incredible 1,519-yard, 13-touchdown campaign, and he remains the top receiver in the Packers' high-powered passing attack going forward.
