After sustaining a rib injury in the loss to the Eagles, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said he expects to play next week if further testing comes back positive.
At 4-8 now on the season, there’s also speculation on whether Rodgers wants to continue playing with playoff hopes dwindling with each loss. He even said the team might have to win their next five games and still need some help elsewhere around the league just to make a wild card berth. Fletcher Cox #91 of the Philadelphia Eagles sacks Aaron Rodgers #12 of the Green Bay Packers during the second quarter at Lincoln Financial Field on November 27, 2022, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Head coach Matt LaFleur added that Rodgers apologized to him because he couldn’t keep going in the game, but he didn’t want to hear it. PACKERS' JORDAN LOVE THROWS TD PASS TO CHRISTIAN WATSON ON FIRST DRIVE AFTER AARON RODGERS LEAVES WITH INJURY When Love entered the game in the fourth quarter for Rodgers, he quickly found budding star Christian Watson for a 63-yard catch-and-run. He would finish the game 6-of-9 for 113 yards with that touchdown pass.
As for his thumb injury, Rodgers said that it felt better this week than it did last week, so that seems to be progressing as he continues to play through it.
