Aaron Rodgers reveals his status for Sunday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was injured during Sunday's loss against the Philadelphia Eagles; he suffered a rib injury and did not return to action. However, don't expect to see him on the sidelines for their next game. 

During his weekly appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show", Rodgers explained that he fully intends to be in the lineup on Sunday as the Packers take on the NFC North division rival Chicago Bears. 

“I might miss practice Wednesday, (or) not be a full contributor, but that’s been the standard for the last six, seven weeks” because of his broken thumb, Rodgers said during his weekly appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday. 

“(The plan is to) go to one of my favorite places to play, down in Chicago, hopefully get a big win, get into the bye week and get healthy and see where we can get to.”

The initial fear was that Rodgers may have suffered a punctured lung, which turned out not to be the cast. Of course, that immediately caused Rodgers to remember when receiver Randall Cobb suffered that injury during a 2015 postseason game. 

“That was pretty scary,” Rodgers said. “And I’ve heard some other stories, as well. So, I just wanted to make sure that wasn’t the case. I just couldn’t do anything about the pain to get back out there.”
