Green Bay, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Packers fans are still adjusting to the loss of wide-receiver Jordy Nelson and now there’s another uniform fans won’t see him in.
Nelson told ESPN Milwaukee Monday it is very unlikely he will play in the annual charity softball game at Fox Cities Stadium this year.
“Unfortunately I don’t think I will be a part of it this year. I’m not saying there won’t be one in other years,” Nelson said. “They did one with Donald when he went into the Packer Hall Of Fame, so we’ll see. It was an honor and fun; my family enjoyed to be a part of that softball game and everything. Hopefully the fans understand why I won’t be able to make it back.”
Nelson has been the face of the softball game for five years, taking over for Donald Driver in 2013.
Lammi Sports Management, which puts on the softball game, says the game will still go on as scheduled on June 2.
At this time, a successor has not been named.
