Rodgers (toe) is practicing Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers didn't practice at all before Green Bay's last game, a 36-28 win over the Rams in Week 12. He'll now get in one practice after a bye, rejoining his teammates Friday afternoon as the Packers prepare for a home game against the Bears on Sunday. While the toe fracture may continue to limit his practice reps going forward, Rodgers hasn't seemed too bothered in games so far, throwing for 692 yards and six touchdowns between Weeks 11 and 12.

Rodgers (toe) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers continues to manage his broken left pinkie toe, which may keep him off the practice field all week. Still, he doesn't need the reps to be ready for game action, as evidenced by his performance in three contests playing with the injury prior to the Packers' Week 13 bye (8.6 YPA and six TDs versus one interception). With Jordan Love on the reserve/COVID-19 list as the result of a positive test for the virus, the Packers signed Kurt Benkert to the active roster this week to handle all the practice reps that typically would go to Rodgers.

Rodgers (toe) isn't practicing Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers said the Week 13 bye helped his fractured toe, but it's still something he'll need to manage until he has a chance for extended rest, which likely won't happen until the offseason. He made it clear he expects to play in Sunday's game against the Bears, and he hopes to play out the rest of the season (plus the playoffs) without missing any action.

Rodgers said Tuesday during an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" that his fractured left pinkie toe showed improvement during the Packers' Week 13 bye, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. "The biggest key is rest. I wish there was another one of these [bye] weeks so I could get 14-to-21 great days without doing anything, but the toe is improving," Rodgers said.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers' comments about his improving health offers some reassurance that he'll be in less pain during the Packers' Week 14 game against the Bears, but as he acknowledges, the toe injury likely won't be resolved completely until he receives some extended rest. Even so, Rodgers opted to forgo surgery during the bye week to address the injury, hoping that he'll be able to play through the issue for the rest of the regular season and playoffs before likely going under the knife at some point over the offseason. Even while presumably playing with his toe at less than 100 percent following his return from an absence Week 9 due to a positive COVID-19 toe, Rodgers performed at a high level over the Packers' final three games prior to the bye week. Between wins over the Seahawks and Rams and a road loss to the Vikings, Rodgers completed 64.3 percent of his throws for 984 yards and a 6:1 TD:INT while contributing 29 yards and another score on the ground.

Rodgers relayed on Tuesday's episode of The Pat McAfee Show that a procedure on his pinky toe remains a possibility. "We're hoping to avoid surgery obviously, but it'd be so minor that I wouldn't miss any time," Rodgers said. "I could have the surgery on Monday or Tuesday and play on Sunday."
EDGE Analysis
The Packers have hit their bye week, and Rodgers himself enters it with a broken toe that he's played on for three straight contests. The team will evaluate his health either later this week or early next week with the hope that rest and treatment will get his toe back to 100 percent. At that point, a decision will be made on whether surgery is the correct course of action. Whatever Rodgers and the Packers decide to do, there seems to be no worry about the quarterback suiting up for their next game Sunday, Dec. 12 against the Bears.

Rodgers doesn't plan to undergo surgery on his fractured left pinky toe while the Packers are on bye Week 13, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers has been hindered by the toe injury in each of his three games since returning from the reserve/COVID-19 list, but he's hopeful that the toe will have time to heal and improve during the bye week. While the quarterback hasn't ruled out having a procedure at a later time, his decision to forgo surgery for the time being puts him in line to play when Green Bay returns to action Dec. 12 against the Bears.

Rodgers completed 28 of 45 passes for 307 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 36-28 win over the Rams. He added two rushes for zero yards and a touchdown.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers marched the Packers offense up and down the field for much of the game. He accounted for all of the team's offensive touchdowns, the first of which came on the ground as he rolled out to the right and juked past Jalen Ramsey from one yard away. Rodgers also added passing scores of seven and five yards, paired with explosive gains of 54 and 43 yards to Randall Cobb and Davante Adams, respectively. The end result was Rodgers' second consecutive game with 300 or more passing yards and multiple touchdowns through the air.

Rodgers (toe) won't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers didn't practice at all this week, instead relaying the calls to backup QB Jordan Love during Friday's session, per Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette. Shortly thereafter, coach Matt LaFleur confirmed that Rodgers again will play through a broken toe, while teammates Aaron Jones (knee) and Allen Lazard (shoulder) are listed as questionable after missing Week 11.

Rodgers (toe) wasn't in attendance for Thursday's practice and will be listed as a non-participant on the Packers' official report, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers, who told reporters Wednesday that he's been playing through a fractured left pinkie toe for both of the Packers' last two games, was off the practice field for the second straight day. Last week, Rodgers missed the Packers' first two practices before returning to work Friday and heading into the team's eventual 34-31 loss to the Vikings without an injury designation, and the team is seemingly hopeful he follows a similar path this week. Even while playing through the painful injury, Rodgers was effective as ever in the narrow loss to Minnesota, completing 23-of-33 attempts for a season-high 385 yards and four touchdowns.

Rodgers relayed Wednesday that he's dealing with a broken toe but won't miss any game action as a result of the injury, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
At the same time the Packers activated him from the reserve/COVID-19 list prior to a Week 10 game against the Seahawks, Rodgers was listed with a toe injury. He hasn't practiced since he returned to Green Bay's facilities, and he finally clarified the nature of his issue during media availability Wednesday following a report he was tending to COVID toe. Rodgers suffered a fracture to his pinky toe while ramping up his activity as he attempted to gain medical clearance to play against Seattle, which was discovered via X-ray. Despite the lack of practice reps in the meantime, he intends "to play every single week." Rodgers will aim to avoid a designation upon the release of Friday's injury report, as he did last week.
