Rodgers (ribs/thumb) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Chicago, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

He might be in pain but will get the start, just as he promised earlier this week. Rodgers managed limited practices Thursday and Friday ahead of what's essentially a must-win game against the Bears, hoping he can play through his pair of injuries and keep Green Bay in the playoff hunt. The 39-year-old (as of Friday) did say he'd try to have an "open mind" if the Packers eventually are eliminated and want to take a look at QB Jordan Love and other young players. For now, Rodgers will be relying on some of those young guys, namely rookie WR Christian Watson, who caught six TD passes (including one from Love) the past three weeks. There's also some hope for fellow rookie Romeo Doubs (ankle) to end a month-long absence, as he's been deemed questionable ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Rodgers (ribs/thumb) is practicing Friday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rodgers returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant and already has said he expects to play in Sunday's game against the Bears. He's reportedly been playing through an avulsion fracture in his right thumb for most of the season, but it was a rib injury that forced him out of a 40-33 loss to the Eagles in Week 12.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Rodgers (ribs/thumb) will practice Thursday in a limited capacity, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rodgers has appeared on Packers injury reports since Week 6 will what was revealed last week to be an avulsion fracture to his right thumb, but the quarterback is now managing a rib injury after exiting early in last Sunday's 40-33 loss to the Eagles. Fortunately for Rodgers, follow-up exams Monday revealed no major injury to his ribs, but the veteran quarterback's reps are still expected to be managed carefully this week. After sitting out the Packers' first session of the week Wednesday like he usually does and Rodgers' return to the field Thursday, even in a limited capacity, bodes well for his chances of playing this Sunday against the Bears. The Packers will likely wait and see what Rodgers is able to do at Friday's practice before deciding whether he'll carry an injury decision into the weekend.

Rodgers (ribs/thumb) isn't practicing Wednesday, but head coach Matt LaFleur said he expects the quarterback to practice at some point before Sunday's game in Chicago, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Packers are known for being cautious with injured players, but that doesn't necessarily apply to Rodgers, who will turn 39 this week and needs to win at least four of his final five games (and probably all five) to have a shot at the playoffs. He's been playing through a thumb injury -- reportedly an avulsion fracture -- since Week 6 and was removed from Sunday's loss to the Eagles after hurting his ribs. Rodgers said Tuesday that he was encouraged by the results from a scan on his ribs Monday and thus expects to play this Sunday against the Bears. If not, Jordan Love will start for Green Bay.

Rodgers (ribs) said Tuesday during an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" that he was encouraged by the results of the scans he underwent Monday and plans to play in Week 13 against Chicago, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran quarterback suffered a rib injury during last Sunday's loss to Philadelphia, which forced Jordan Love into his first game action of the season. However, Rodgers was cleared of a punctured lung soon after exiting the contest, and his optimistic outlook about his health likely implies that he avoided any major structural damage to his ribs. He added that he may sit out the first practice of Week 13 prep, but that shouldn't be overly concerning, as he's missed Wednesday sessions for nearly two months straight while nursing an avulsion fracture to his right thumb. Love will stay prepared to start in the event Rodgers' condition takes a turn for the worse as the weekend approaches.

Rodgers is scheduled to undergo another scan on his ribs Monday after exiting in the third quarter of Sunday's 40-33 loss to the Eagles, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rodgers, who already had been playing through an avulsion fracture of his right thumb, appeared to suffer what was initially believed to an oblique injury in the second quarter when he landed awkwardly after a hit. He was then brought down hard on a sack in the third quarter, prompting him to leave the game for good. Rodgers clarified afterward that he was dealing with a rib injury, although initial X-rays ruled out a punctured lung. So long as his upcoming scan reveals no damage that would force an absence, Rodgers said that he expects to return to the lineup for next weekend's matchup with the Bears. Jordan Love finished out Sunday's game and would be in line for the starting nod if Rodgers doesn't play Week 13.

Coach Matt LaFleur said after Sunday's 40-33 loss to the Eagles that he doesn't have enough information to assess whether Rodgers will have to miss additional time due to the injury he sustained in the second half, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports. It was originally deemed an oblique injury, but Rodgers clarified after the game that the injury was to his ribs, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.

EDGE Analysis

"If Aaron is healthy and ready to go, I anticipate him being out there," LaFleur said, proactively shutting down any idea of Jordan Love starting over a healthy Rodgers. After Rodgers exited, Love threw for 113 yards and a touchdown on just nine passing attempts, but Green Bay fell to 4-8. Despite their long playoff odds, the Packers seem intent on starting the soon-to-be 39-year-old Rodgers in Week 13 against Chicago if he's healthy enough to play.

Rodgers (oblique) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

Rodgers went to the locker room in the second half, and it remains to be seen if he'll manage to return. Jordan Love's next in line for snaps at quarterback. Prior to getting hurt, Rodgers completed 11 of 16 passes for 140 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions while rushing once for minus-1 yard.

Rodgers, who doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles, has been playing through an avulsion fracture in his right thumb since injuring the finger in an Oct. 9 loss to the Giants, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though he has yet to miss any games this season, Rodgers has been listed on Packers injury reports for seven straight weeks with the right thumb issue. The extent of the injury wasn't fully known until Rodgers quietly disclosed Wednesday that his thumb was fractured when Giants defender Oshane Ximines hit the quarterback's hand on a Hail Mary attempt on the final play of the Week 5 contest. Rapoport's report confirms that Rodgers is dealing with an avulsion fracture, an injury that results in a torn ligament that creates joint instability in the thumb. Though Rodgers said he'll continue to play and isn't considering surgery to address the injury either during the season or after the season, the avulsion fracture may in part explain why the reigning NFL MVP's performance has taken a step back in 2022. In the six games since he suffered the injury, the Packers have gone 1-5 while Rodgers has completed 62 percent of his throws for 6.7 yards per attempt and an 11:4 TD:INT.

Rodgers (thumb) practiced fully Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

On Wednesday, Rodgers was asked about the nature of the thumb injury that he sustained back in Week 5. Per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, Rodgers said he's been playing through a broken thumb over the last six contests, a span in which he's completed 62 percent of his passes, averaged 230.8 pass yards per game and thrown 11 touchdowns versus four interceptions. With his status again cleared up by week's end, Rodgers' current focus is Sunday's matchup with an Eagles defense that has allowed a NFL-best 5.8 yards per attempt and picked off a league-high 13 passes (tied with the Bills) from opposing quarterbacks this season.
