The Packers QB1 has remained in the injury reports since the NFL International game against the New York Giants. The franchise is running through a substantial losing streak, and they would be looking forward with a winning mindset. Rodgers participated in light training on Wednesday, which was something favorable. However, the quarterback minimized its relevance.
As per Pro Football Talk, Aaron Rodgers mentioned, “Well, I heard it was going to be just a jog-through, so I figured I might as well get down there and be around. I wish I could tell you it was feeling better. But it was more just the necessity of jog-through, and feel like my presence down there was kind of more important today than an hour of rehab.”
