Packers receivers Jordy Nelson and Davante Adams will play in Sunday’s NFC Championship Game against the Falcons despite dealing with injuries, according to multiple reports. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Stacey Dales were first to report the news.
Nelson fractured his ribs in Green Bay’s playoff win over the Giants and missed last week’s game against the Cowboys. He will wear a kevlar vest to protect the injured ribs.
Adams injured his ankle late in last week’s win over Dallas and was held out of practice this week.
