The Green Packers added running back Christine Michael to the injury report as questionable for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Michael's status remains in doubt because of a lingering back injury. He has primarily served as the third-string tailback behind Ty Montgomery and Aaron Ripkowski, but also has been used to return kickoffs.

On Friday, the Packers listed wide receivers Jordy Nelson, Davante Adams and Geronimo Allison as questionable.

Coach Mike McCarthy said Friday that Nelson (ribs) and Adams (ankle) and Allison (hamstring) probably would be game-time decisions.

There also was another development to watch -- Nelson, kicker Mason Crosby and quarterback Aaron Rodgers were battling illnesses this week.

"Rest, fluids, all that stuff," Rodgers told reporters Friday. "We'll be OK. Jordy had it. Mason had it. I got it. We'll deal with it."

Nelson, who is trying to return from broken ribs, stayed at home Friday because he was sick and Crosby did not practice Wednesday because of an illness.

Nelson took a hit in the midsection from New York Giants safety Leon Hall in the wild-card round. Nelson did not play at Dallas in last week's divisional playoff game because of the injury.
