Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network is reporting that the Packers expect wide receivers Jordy Nelson, Davante Adams and Geronimo Allison to play in today's NFC title game against the Atlanta Falcons.
#Packers WR Jordy Nelson (ribs) is expected to play today, per @StaceyDales & me. So are Davante Adams (ankle) & Geronimo Allison (leg).

#Packers WR Jordy Nelson, expected to play with fractured ribs, ordered military-grade kevlar padding from @UnequalTech, sources say.

The news is a huge boost to a beleaguered Packers receiving group, though it's unclear how limited each of the three players will be come game time.
