JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- After making a diving catch in the back of the end zone, Jordy Nelson celebrated with teammates and then took a knee.It was a private moment that seemed to signal the end of a long road back from a knee injury.Nelson played his first meaningful game in 20 months Sunday, finishing with six catches for 32 yards and a touchdown in a victory at Jacksonville . Nelson didnt show his usual big-play ability, but he found the end zone and probably gained some confidence in his surgically repaired right knee.It feels great having Jordy back, quarterback Aaron Rodgers said. He does so many things well out there. He had a great second and third reaction on the TD catch .Nelson, who tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in the 2015 preseason, left the visiting locker room before media were allowed in, so his reaction to his first real game since the 2014 NFC championship will have to wait. It also was his first TD catch in 630 days, since Dec. 21, 2014, at Tampa Bay.It was great, fellow receiver Davante Adams said. He came back just like he always does. He made several key catches for us to get us yards and first downs when we needed it. He brings a lot to this offense. Were all glad to have him back out there with us.Nelson had half his catches in a four-play stretch late in the first half. The final one was the biggest of the day, though. He ran by linebacker Paul Posluszny, settled into an open spot in Jacksonvilles zone and then threw both arms up to let Rodgers know he was open.Rodgers, meanwhile, was dancing in the pocket. He took a step forward, started to move left, backpedaled and then sprinted to his right. Somewhere in there, Rodgers spotted Nelson and zipped the ball just past Prince Amukamaras outstretched hands for a touchdown and a 14-10 lead.I know they look to him, Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said. We kind of had an idea that they are a really good combination. Theres a lot of trust that goes on between those two. They know each other real well, where theyre going to be on certain routes and Aaron trusts him. Whenever you have that type of a combination, thats what all teams are trying to build and they are both elite players.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Michael A.

CHICAGO -- Chicago White Sox slugger Jose Abreu hit another home run Thursday. And not just any homer.Abreu continued his second-half surge with two more hits and Carlos Sanchez drove in the winning run in the ninth inning in the White Soxs 2-1 victory over the Cleveland Indians.Before the game, Abreu met with a young cancer patient and said he would try to hit a home run for the boy. He lived up to the promise on his second at-bat, a blast over the left-field fence that tied it.You feel for the people, Abreu said through an interpreter. It was very emotional for me, too, because if I couldnt hit the homer, I would feel bad because I couldnt accomplish what I promised to him. This is something I feel proud of, because these are the moments that you make people feel happy.Abreu needs six homers and five RBI to join Albert Pujols as only major leaguers with 30 homers and 100 RBI in each of their first three seasons.Hes getting close, manager Robin Ventura said. He started out a bit slow, but when you look at the end of the year, hes probably going to have numbers that are as impressive as anybodys the league.After Omar Narvaez led off the ninth with a single off reliever Bryan Shaw (2-5), pinch-runner Leury Garcia stole second while Avisail Garcia struck out. Sanchez followed with a bloop single to right-center.Reliever David Robertson (5-3) pitched a scoreless inning to earn the victory.Cleveland threatened in the ninth, when the shadows around home plate made it more difficult to hit. Pinch-hitter Francisco Lindor and Coco Crisp struck out to strand the lead run at third.You could see it coming, Indians manager Terry Francona said. Youre hoping you get a lead before that. We had a good chance. ... Its hard enough to hit without being able to only see half the ball.In his most effective start since late July, Chicago starter James Shields gave up one run on three hits and three walks in six innings but remained winless in his last nine starts. He was 0-5 with a 10.75 earned-run average in his previous eight appearances.After a rocky third, Shields mowed down nine consecutive batters before Carlos Santana reached on an infield hit in the sixth.The White Sox took three of four games in the series to conclude a 6-4 homestead agaainst three playoff hopefuls.dddddddddddd The first-place Indians remained six games ahead of the Detroit Tigers in the AL Central.Winning the series against the Indians, especially how theyve been playing at the end of the year, is real nice, Shields said.Cleveland counterpart Mike Clevinger retired seven batters in a row before Abreu took him deep in the fourth. That was the lone run off Clevinger, who allowed three hits and one walk in four innings.Shields labored through a 33-pitch third but avoided major damage. The Indians scored only on Jose Ramirezs sacrifice fly despite a single, three walks and two wild pitches.Clevinger encountered trouble in the first, but retired Narvaez on a pop out with the bases loaded.RIGHT STUFFGarcia has a .341 batting average in his last 11 games and five home runs and 16 RBI in his last 28. The hot streak coincided with his move from designated hitter to right field.His swings are better, Ventura said. Whether it was playing the outfield or not, there could be a correlation to that. But I think its more (about) his mechanics and just the timing that he has right now.ON HOLDLindor remained 22 hits short of 200 this season. Since 1996, Michael Brantley (2013) is the only Indians player to achieve the feat.TRAINERS ROOMIndians: C Yan Gomes could be activated and start on Friday pending the test results on his right wrist. He was struck by a pitch Wednesday in a rehab assignment with Double-A Akron. He has been on the disabled list since July 18 because of a dislocated right shoulder. ... OF Lonnie Chisenhall (abdominal discomfort) was a late scratch. Crisp replaced him.White Sox: INF/DH Justin Morneau (neck stiffness) sat out a third consecutive game as a precautionary measure.UP NEXTIndians: RHP Corey Kluber (16-9, 3.05) will bid for his third win in as many starts against the Tigers this season on Friday. Rookie RHP Michael Fulmer (10-6, 2.76) is scheduled to start for the visitors.White Sox: LHP Chris Sale (15-8, 3.03) will take the ball in the opener of a weekend series in Kansas City on Friday night.
