Packers safety Morgan Burnett and wide receivers Jordy Nelson and Davante Adams will play through injuries in today’s NFC championship game against the Falcons at the Georgia Dome.
Nelson was questionable because of fractured ribs he suffered during Green Bay’s wild-card round game against the Giants. He didn’t play in last weekend’s divisional game against the Cowboys and practiced on a limited basis on Thursday before sitting out Friday’s practice.
Adams, Green Bay’s No. 2 wide receiver, was questionable to play because of an ankle injury he suffered against the Cowboys.
Burnett (hamstring) was questionable to play after he couldn’t finish the Cowboys game because of a hamstring injury.
The Falcons inactive players are wide receiver Nick Williams, running back Terron Ward, tight end D.J. Tialavea, guard Wes Schweitzer, safety Dashon Goldson, cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson and linebacker Josh Keyes.
Wide receiver Geronimo Allison, who has been productive since earning playing time late in the season, also is questionable because of a hamstring injury.
