Packers WR Jordy Nelson Expected to Play in NFC Championship Game

The Green Bay Packers are expected to get Jordy Nelson back for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. 

Nelson missed last week's win over the Dallas Cowboys with a rib injury and has been considered questionable for the conference title game. This came after he injured his ribs in the Wild Card round. 

It's now known how limited Nelson will be here, but he's expected to play with a military-grade Kevlar vest, which could be an indication he will be limited. 

Surprisingly, Nelson is coming off a regular season performance that saw him finish as the No. 1 fantasy receiver. He's also set to take on a Falcons defense that ranked in the bottom 10 of the NFL against fantasy receivers. Normally, this would be a sign of him putting up a stellar DFS performance. But the aforementioned injury should have us concerned.
