Rodgers remains on track to start Sunday's game against the Vikings, but he'll do so while playing through a painful toe injury that he'll likely contend with for the remainder of the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers appeared to pick up the injury in last week's 17-0 win over the Seahawks after he had sat out the Packers' previous contest Week 9 against the Chiefs while he was on the reserve/COVID-19 list. The Packers withheld Rodgers from practices Wednesday and Thursday to give him a chance to heal up from the injury, and while he returned to the field Friday as a limited participant, he took only about 15 reps, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Green Bay is hopeful that its upcoming Week 13 bye will allow Rodgers to regain some health, but in the meantime, the team isn't expected to dramatically alter its game plans for the next two contests while the star signal-caller is at less than 100 percent. As is the case with most aging quarterbacks, Rodgers had already scaled back his involvement as a runner before the toe injury surfaced. He's averaging a career-low 2.8 yards per carry and has logged only 20 carries through nine outings.

Rodgers (toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers and coach Matt LaFleur have both already said the quarterback would start Sunday's game despite missing practice Wednesday and Thursday. Rodgers returned Friday as a limited participant, while WR Allen Lazard (shoulder) missed another session and is listed as doubtful.

Coach Matt LaFleur said Friday that Rodgers (toe) will start Sunday's game at Minnesota, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
There was never much doubt, especially after Rodgers returned to practice earlier Friday. It's his first practice since Nov. 1, as he spent time on the COVID-19 list earlier this month and then missed Wednesday and Thursday with a toe injury.

Rodgers (toe) returned to practice Friday and remains on track to play in Sunday's game in Minnesota, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Between a COVID-19 absence and a toe injury, Rodgers hasn't practiced since Nov. 1. He already said he'll "definitely" play in Sunday's game, and the return to practice Friday backs it up. The question now is if the Packers give him a game designation on their Friday injury report.

Rodgers (toe) was a spectator at Thursday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers hasn't logged an on-field practice rep since Nov. 1, the result of a stay on the reserve/COVID-19 list and a toe injury. The latter is impacting his activity level this week, but as he told Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette on Wednesday, Rodgers is "definitely playing Sunday" in Minnesota. Whether or not Rodgers heads into the weekend with an injury designation remains to be seen, though.

Rodgers didn't practice Wednesday due to a toe injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
A number of Packers veterans received maintenance days for Wednesday's walk-through session. Among them, Rodgers, Allen Lazard (shoulder) and David Bakhtiari (knee) didn't practice at all, while Davante Adams (shoulder) was limited. Afterward, Rodgers told Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette that he's "definitely playing Sunday" at Minnesota, all but confirming his toe issue is nothing to worry about. As a result, Rodgers is a good bet to get back on the practice field as a full participant this week, potentially as soon as Thursday.

Rodgers wasn't present at the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers made his return from a one-game absence this past Sunday against the Seahawks after a bout with COVID-19. The Packers didn't mention that he picked up any sort of injury during the team's 17-0 win, but Demovsky hinted Rodgers could be dealing with a toe issue. Rodgers also may be getting the day off for maintenance purposes, so his listing on Wednesday's practice report will be of keen interest.

Rodgers completed 23 of 37 pass attempts for 292 yards and one interception against Seattle on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers dealt with a couple untimely drops and seemed to have trouble getting on the same page with some pass catchers -- tight end Josiah Deguara in particular -- but fortunately for the Packers, the opposing quarterback (Russell Wilson) was wildly ineffective and Green Bay was able to eventually lean on its AJ Dillon-led run game to secure the win. Rodgers will need to be sharper at Minnesota in Week 11.

Rodgers was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list and will start Sunday's contest against the Seahawks.
EDGE Analysis
No surprise here as it was reported earlier Saturday the star quarterback would be good to go in the pivotal matchup against the Seahawks. Rodgers curiously did get put on the injury report due to a toe injury despite never taking the field over the last 10 days, but since he doesn't carry any sort of game status designation, it's a comical moot point. Sunday will mark the first time Rodgers has his full assortment of wide receivers available since Week 4 after Marquez Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) returned off injured reserve in Week 9.

Rodgers is expected to be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list and thus will be eligible to play Sunday against the Seahawks, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Packers have until 4 p.m. ET to activate Rodgers from the reserve/COVID-19 list, and the star quarterback has evidently remained asymptomatic and has passed protocols to this point and has already returned to the Packers' practice facilities Saturday. The reigning NFL MVP appears to be on pace to play Sunday after a one-game absence, with his impending return expected to result in Jordan Love moving to the bench.
