Jordy Nelson hasn't been participating in OTAs as he recovers from hip surgery, but fear not Green Bay Packers fans, it's not serious.

Nelson had a cleanup procedure on his hip in the offseason and is just being cautious.

“We’re just going to continue to progress going forward," Nelson told Lori Nickel the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "Like I said, we’re excited where we’re at and don’t have any worries about anything that’s of importance down the road.”

The Pro Bowler added that it was an issue during the season.

"Obviously, if it didn’t bother me, I probably wouldn’t have had surgery," said Nelson. "But - nothing major. Just an opportunity to get some things cleaned up. We did it and I think it was a good move and I feel good with where we’re at, moving forward."

Since Randall Cobb re-signed with the team, a healthy Nelson will once again give the Packers a formidable passing attack in 2015. Of course, having Aaron Rodgers throwing the passes helps, too.
