Green Bay, WI (Sports Network) - Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Detroit Lions because of a hamstring injury.

Nelson, who missed an Oct. 28 win over Jacksonville with a similar injury, aggravated his hamstring in the first quarter of Green Bay's 23-14 victory over Minnesota last Sunday.

Nelson has hauled in 46 passes for 658 yards and six touchdowns in 11 games this season.

Linebacker Clay Matthews (hamstring), defensive back Charles Woodson (collarbone) and defensive end C.J. Wilson (knee) remain out for the Packers.

Wide receiver Donald Driver (thumb) and center Jeff Saturday (foot) are listed as probable despite being limited in practice all week. Linebacker Terrell Manning (shoulder), who was also limited all week, is questionable.

Offensive lineman T.J. Lang (ankle) missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but returned on Friday on a limited basis and is listed as questionable.

Cornerback Sam Shields (ankle) practiced in full on Thursday and Friday and is probable for Sunday.
