Will Aaron Rodgers play on Sunday?
Aaron Rodgers could not finish the game against the Eagles due to an oblique muscle injury. After the game, he said that he had a little trouble breathing due to the injury. Add to that his thumb problem, and one would think that Rodgers’ season is over. Well, not quite.
Packers HC Matt LaFleur said that the Packers icon is expected to feature in Week 13 clash with the Chicago Bears. The coach said that he missed practice on Wednesday, as he has done since injuring his thumb in the week five clash against the New York Giants.
When Rodgers went off the field against the Eagles, backup QB Jordan Love replaced him to finish off the game. In those final minutes, Love showed some promise by throwing a touchdown pass. Though the TD was inconsequential, it did make the case for Love to start against the Bears. Especially when Rodgers is showing serious signs of old age. Rodgers is okay with the Packers switching QB, but he has one condition for it.

Aaron Rodgers is open to considering letting Jordan Love take his place for the rest of the season. But only if the Packers are eliminated from the playoff race. With the form they are in, that point seems to be coming very soon.

“Hopefully we don’t have to have that conversation. But if that conversation comes up, I’ll approach that with an open mind and without any bitterness or resentment. Obviously, like I said, I want to win out and we don’t have to have those conversations. I understand if we don’t, that’s a possibility to have that conversation,” Rodgers said.

The Packers have lost eight out of the 12 games they have played so far and are nearly out of the playoff conversation. All it might take to confirm it for them is one more defeat. They are third in the NFC North table but catching the Minnesota Vikings now will be no mean feat. Can they pull it off?
