Aaron Rodgers Reflects on His Unhealed Injury With Three More Games to Win Before Playoffs

Aaron Rodgers has always been a tough bird during the season. He has played through injuries before, and it seems like he has been doing it right now as well. Quite recently, the quarterback showed up how well he can play, despite adversity in his game against the Rams. While on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’, the quarterback spoke about his thumb injury and how it has been healing up.

He also spoke about the slim but very real possibility of making a hopeful playoff run after beating last year’s Super Bowl champions. The thumb injury seems to be only a slight annoyance in his way as he ended up playing anyways and performing well on the field.

He mentioned that the injury that was troubling him a lot more before is not as bad after their week off. Rodgers also spoke about the problem he was having with his ribs. He said, “thumb’s a lot better, doesn’t give me the same issues it was before the week off. I was you know I kind of talked about it for a while and hoped that I maybe would get over the thumb before the bye week but the bye week definitely got the thumb where I need to be and the ribs felt better it took some shots but feeling good.” The quarterback mentioned that the bye week was definitely needed in terms of rest to get back to where he needed to be for performance’s sake.
