Packers receivers Jordy Nelson, Davante Adams will play vs. Falcons

Jordy Nelson and Davante Adams are good to go for the Packers against the Falcons.

Packers receivers Jordy Nelson and Davante Adams will play in Sunday’s NFC Championship Game against the Falcons despite dealing with injuries. Both players are on the active gameday roster. 

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.
