Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson was inactive Sunday for the team's 24-15 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars because of a hamstring injury.

Nelson, who had back-to-back 100-yard receiving games, pulled his hamstring in practice Wednesday.

Greg Jennings also was out and is scheduled to have to surgery this week on his injured groin.

With Nelson out, Randall Cobb and James Jones started with Donald Driver and rookie Jarrett Boykin behind them.

Jones led all Packers receivers in yards Sunday with 78 yards on seven catches, while Cobb finished with five receptions for 28 yards and a touchdown

Nelson leads the Packers this season in receptions (40) and receiving yards (532) and has five touchdown catches.

The Packers were also without Charles Woodson, who broke his collarbone last weekend against St. Louis; fullback John Kuhn; cornerback Sam Shields; and linebacker Nick Perry.

Maurice Jones-Drew missed the game for the Jaguars with a foot injury. Jacksonville's other inactives were cornerback Derek Cox; running back Montell Owens; defensive back Dwight Lowery; wide receiver Laurent Robinson; and defensive tackles D'Anthony Smith and Jeris Pendleton.
