There is a slim chance for Jordy Nelson to play in the NFC Championship Game between the Green Bay Packers and the Atlanta Falcons, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com.

Nelson sustained broken ribs against the New York Giants in the NFC wild-card round, but did not suffer any major internal injury. He was not cleared to play against the Dallas Cowboys in the Packers' NFC divisional playoff game.

Head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters that he was not sure if Nelson would practice on Wednesday.
