Report: Packers' Nelson, Adams, Allison expected to play in NFC title game

The Green Bay Packers' trio of injured receivers are all expected to play in Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Atlanta Falcons, according to Ian Rapoport and Stacy Dales of NFL Network.

Jordy Nelson will return to the lineup despite suffering an injury to his ribs in the wild-card round of the playoffs. Davante Adams picked up an ankle injury and Geronimo Allison has a leg ailment, but both will play as well.

Nelson took a helmet to the ribs in a game against the New York Giants on Jan. 8 and missed the Packers' divisional-round game as a result.

He will play Sunday wearing a military-grade kevlar vest, sources told Rapoport.

His presence will be appreciated as he hauled in an NFL-leading 14 touchdown receptions during the regular season.

Adams has yet to miss a game this season, but it was reported he would need to test his ankle ahead of the NFC title game in order to be cleared to play.

Allison has seen his usage increase since Week 15 and will also be good to go.
