  • Limited in return to practice

    Rodgers (Achilles) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

    Analysis: Rodgers was held out of Wednesday's session seemingly as part of a pre-planned maintenance program for his surgically repaired Achilles, but as expected, he was back on the field Thursday, albeit with a cap on his reps. Since having his 21-day evaluation window opened Nov. 29, Rodgers has managed three limited practices over five total sessions. Rodgers has previously stated that he's aiming to return for a Week 16 game against the Commanders on Dec. 24, but the odds of the 40-year-old…read more

  • Not practicing

    Rodgers (Achilles) won't practice Wednesday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: His absence reportedly was planned, though prior reports had suggested that Rodgers would practice on consecutive days this week. That still might happen Thursday and Friday, though a return to game action during the 2023 season appears to be highly unlikely with the Jets sitting at 4-8 after a loss to Atlanta this past Sunday. After a two-game benching, Zach Wilson will reclaim the Jets' starting quarterback job Week 14 against Houston.

  • Return this season still unlikely

    Rodgers remains unlikely to play again this season, despite experiencing no setbacks with his surgically repaired Achilles' tendon during his return to practice this past week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Rodgers' ability to get back on the practice field just 77 days after undergoing Achilles surgery Sept. 13 was already unprecedented for any player attempting to return from a similar injury, but since he's still facing significant limitations and isn't close to 100 percent healthy, the expectation remains that he'll be sidelined for the rest of the season, especially if the 4-7 Jets continue to fade from the playoff picture. The Jets will have until Dec. 20 to formally activate Rodgers or keep…read more

  • Officially out this week

    Rodgers (Achilles) was ruled out Friday for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

    Analysis: The 40-year-old is said to be targeting a return Week 16 against Washington, though he's made it clear he won't come back this season unless the Jets have a chance to make the playoffs. Rodgers was limited in practice Wednesday and Friday, sandwiched around a Thursday absence, with Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reporting that the QB intends to intensify his regimen next week. Rodgers plans to practice on consecutive days next week and hasn't ruled out returning to games before the reported Week 16…read more

  • Back to limited practice Friday

    Rodgers (Achilles) will be a limited participant in practice Friday, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.

    Analysis: According to Allen, Rodgers is alternating practices and days off as part of his rehab schedule. Rodgers had his 21-day window to return from IR opened Wednesday, but he's unlikely to be activated until the end of that window, if at all. Per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, Rodgers plans to increase his practice regimen next week in hopes of moving up his return timeline, though Rodgers also said Thursday that "I don't think it would make a ton of sense" to play in a game with no playoff implications,…read more

  • Sits out Thursday's practice

    Rodgers (Achilles) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: One day after he was designated for return from injured reserve and took part in practice as a limited participant, Rodgers was a spectator for the Jets' second session of the week. As Cimini notes, Rodgers' absence from practice wasn't the result of any setback in his recovery from Achilles surgery, as the quarterback's rehab plan simply calls for him to mix in lighter days of activity as he works his way back closer to full strength. Rodgers continues to target the team's Week 16 matchup with…read more

    Rodgers (Achilles) was a limited participant Wednesday in his return to practice and remains hopeful to make his return to game action Week 16 against the Commanders on Dec. 24, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Jets designated Rodgers for return from injured reserve earlier Wednesday, opening a 21-day window that he can be added back to the roster before defaulting back to the IR for the rest of the season. Both outcomes remain possible at this point, with Rodgers having noted multiple times that his return would depend on both his health and the Jets having a shot to make the playoffs.

  • Returning to practice Wednesday

    Jets head coach Robert Saleh announced announced Wednesday that Rodgers (Achilles) has been designated for return from injured reserve.

    Analysis: The transaction officially opens up a 21-day window in which Rodgers can participate in practices while the Jets evaluate him for a return from IR. According to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, Saleh noted that while Rodgers has been cleared for functional football activity, the veteran quarterback is not yet ready to take contact just over two and a half months after undergoing surgery to repair a torn left Achilles' tendon. Rodgers is thus slated to be a limited participant in practices, and he's…read more

  • Still eyeing '23 return

    Rodgers (Achilles) said Tuesday during his weekly appearance on The Pat McAfee Show that he's "not at an ability to play at this point" but noted that he's still not ruling out a return to game action in 2023 so long as the Jets remain in playoff contention, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: While going into detail about his rehab, Rodgers said that he's now back at the Jets' facility on a full-time basis and has resumed running on an anti-gravity treadmill. The veteran QB noted that his next step is to resume throwing to his teammates and going through the individual portions of practice, something that Ian Rapoport of NFL Network previously reported could happen as soon as this week. Before Rodgers is eligible to take part in individual work at practice, the Jets will have to…read more

  • Waiting for doctor's clearance

    Rodgers (Achilles) is in New York, pushing to get back to practice, but still has to get the team doctor's clearance before he can resume practice, Jay Glazer reported on "Fox NFL Sunday."

    Analysis: The implication here is that Rodgers is pushing hard to come back, but he might be pushing too hard, too soon. In such a scenario, the doctors might be "saving Rodgers from himself," according to Glazer. The Jets have already announced that Tim Boyle will start again Week 13 against the Falcons, and Rodgers is said to be targeting the team's Week 16 game versus the Commanders on Dec. 24 for a potential return.

  • Hoping to practice early December

    Rodgers (Achilles) said Tuesday on "The Pat McAfee Show that he's aiming to return to practice before his 40th birthday on Dec. 2, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported over the weekend that Rodgers was targeting the Jets' Dec. 24 against Washington in Week 16 for his return to game action, so Dec. 2 would seemingly represent his target date for being designated for return from injured reserve. The Jets' quarterback situation during Rodgers' absence has grown even more dire following the benching of Zach Wilson in the team's Week 11 loss to Buffalo, with the loss dropping the team's record to 4-6.

  • Eyeing Week 16 return

    Rodgers (Achilles) is reportedly eyeing a potential return in mid-December, with the Jets' Week 16 game against the Commanders being a possible target, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: A mid-December return would represent a three-month recovery from Achilles surgery -- nearly two months ahead of the fastest known return that any NFL player has made from a similar injury. Even if Rodgers ends up gaining clearance Week 16 or later, any return to action would presumably hinge on whether he can protect himself on the field, as well as where the Jets -- currently 4-5 heading into Sunday's game in Buffalo -- sit in the AFC playoff picture. For the time being, Zach Wilson remains…read more

  • No timeline for return

    Rodgers (Achilles) said Tuesday on the Pat McAfee Show that he expects to return later in the season, but he's not targeting a specific date, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

    Analysis: Per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, NBC's Melissa Stark reported Sunday night that Rodgers had mentioned a possible mid-December return, but it appears the quarterback is taking things one step at a time. The four-time MVP suffered a torn Achilles in Week 1 against the Bills and was initially expected to miss his entire inaugural season with the Jets, but the team has stayed optimistic Rodgers might get back onto the field this season if it could stay in the playoff hunt. The Jets dropped to 4-5…read more

  • Hoping to be back mid-December

    Rodgers (Achilles) told NBC's Melissa Stark on Sunday that his goal is to return from injured reserve in mid-December, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: A return prior to January from the torn Achilles that Rodgers suffered in Week 1 against the Bills is highly unlikely, but the quarterback is optimistic that he'll be back earlier than most experts expect. If he indeed manages to return in mid-December, Rodgers could contribute to a potential playoff push, as the Jets entered Sunday's game against the Raiders at 4-4. New York's Dec. 17 game against the Dolphins in Week 15 is the the team's fourth-to-last game of the season.

    Analysis: As he's done before, Rodgers made a handful of pre-game tosses, only this time he was doing so after taking three-step drops, per Judy Battista of NFL Network. Rodgers also made some 50-yard throws, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. During his weekly appearance on The Pat McAfee Show last Tuesday, Rodgers said that he hasn't started jogging yet, but he's able to walk without discomfort as he continues to push ahead of schedule in his recovery from Achilles surgery.

    Analysis: Rodgers added that he's able to do calf-raising exercises and put "legitimate" weight on his surgically repaired left Achilles' tendon, leaving him optimistic that he'll be able to play again this season. However, Rodgers emphasized that he still has many checkpoints to hit in his recovery and noted that the Jets need to be "alive" in order for him to take the field.

    Analysis: Though Rodgers was in a stationary position while throwing, he was notably stepping into each pass while putting weight on his surgically repaired left Achilles' tendon. While Achilles injuries often entail a 6-to-9-month recovery, the 39-year-old has remained adamant since having his surgery Sept. 13 that he'll beat the typical timeline and make it back on the field at some point during the 2023 season.

  • Sights set on return this season

    Rodgers (Achilles) said Tuesday in his appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" that he's "well ahead of the normal protocols" and remains optimistic that he'll be able to return to action before the conclusion of the 2023 season, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. "There's nothing normal about how I'm attacking this rehab," Rodgers said. "The common practice is about six weeks in a boot, and I was in a shoe in 13 days."

    Analysis: In addition to recovering from the surgery he underwent three weeks ago on his ruptured left Achilles' tendon, Rodgers disclosed Tuesday that he's also dealing with a deltoid issue, which he presumably sustained when he injured the Achilles just four snaps into his Jets debut in the Week 1 win over the Bills. Rodgers is wearing a brace to protect the deltoid, but he otherwise looks to already be making strong progress in his recovery from Achilles surgery, as Cimini notes that the quarterback…read more

  • Hopeful for postseason return

    Rodgers is targeting a return to action during the playoffs after undergoing an innovative surgery Wednesday in Los Angeles to repair his torn left Achilles' tendon, Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network report.

    Analysis: Achilles tears have historically been season-ending injuries, with Rams running back Cam Akers -- who needed just under five months to recover from surgery in 2021 -- having thus far staged the fastest-known recovery from the injury. Rodgers is hopeful to match or beat that five-month recovery timeline, which would fall just under a week before Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas.

  • Aiming to return in 2024

    Rodgers (Achilles) implied Friday during his appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" that he intends to return to the field for the Jets in 2024, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. "Give me the doubts...give me the things that you think can should or will happen. All I need is that one little extra percent of inspiration. That's all I need," Rodgers said.

    Analysis: Before the Jets acquired him from the Packers in April, Rodgers famously took his time earlier in the offseason to decide whether he wanted to continue his playing career in 2023. Rodgers ultimately opted against retirement in order to play a 19th NFL season, only for it to end after just four snaps Monday, when he suffered a torn Achilles' tendon in his Jets debut in the team's 22-16 overtime win over the Bills. Per Rapoport, Rodgers told McAfee that he experienced "a lot of sadness, a lot of…read more

    Analysis: This comes as no surprise after an MRI confirmed that Rodgers sustained a torn left Achilles in Monday's overtime win against the Bills. He'll miss the rest of his first season with the Jets, handing off the offense to third-year pro Zach Wilson. Considering his age (39), there will be questions about whether Rodgers is willing to go through an arduous rehab to return for a 20th NFL campaign in 2024.

    The Jets have confirmed via an MRI on Tuesday that Rodgers suffered a complete tear of his left Achilles' tendon during Monday's 22-16 overtime win against the Bills, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Rodgers' torn Achilles brings an abrupt end to his inaugural campaign with the Jets, as he went down on the team's fourth offensive play. His absence severely undermines the fantasy upside of the Jets' skill-position players, most notably Garrett Wilson, as well as Allen Lazard, Mecole Hardman, Randall Cobb and Tyler Conklin.

    The Jets believe that Rodgers suffered an Achilles injury during Monday's 22-16 overtime win against the Bills, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Rodgers got injured on the Jets' fourth offensive play and needed assistance reaching the sidelines before being carted to the locker room. X-rays came back negative, but the 39-year-old quarterback was seen wearing a walking boot on his left foot. When combined with the fact coach Robert Saleh called Zach Wilson the team's starting quarterback the rest of the season, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Tuesday's MRI likely will confirm the worst for Rodgers.

    Rodgers (ankle) will not return to Monday's game against the Bills.

    Rodgers made his first preseason appearance with the Jets on Saturday, completing five of his eight pass attempts for 47 yards and a touchdown in an exhibition win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Rodgers made his first preseason appearance since 2018 and officially debuted with the Jets following 17 seasons with the Packers. The 39-year-old was on the field for the first two offensive drives before ending his brief outing with a touchdown pass to Garrett Wilson. Fantasy managers are hoping for that scoring connection between the new teammates repeats often this upcoming season.

Costello cites an unnamed source, so the team has yet to officially announced Rodgers as next weekend's starters, but coach Robert Saleh has already alluded to the veteran making a cameo on numerous occasions.

    Coach Robert Saleh noted earlier this week that if Rodgers plays during the preseason, it would be for "a quick tuneup" in the Jets' exhibition finale on Saturday, Aug. 26 versus the Giants, Randy Lange of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: With the Jets playing it safe with the veteran QB, Zach Wilson is in line to draw the start in Thursday's preseason opener against the Browns and quite possibly the team's subsequent exhibition tilts. Assuming Rodgers is limited to a cameo appearance in the preseason, his first full contest with the Jets will occur in Week 1 against the Bills.

    As Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Browns approaches, Rodgers noted that he "wouldn't mind playing in the preseason," while suggesting that seeing action in the Jets' exhibition finale is a possibility, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: It's safe to assume that Rodgers won't be taking any snaps Thursday, and it doesn't sound like he'll play Aug. 12 against the Panthers either. In any case, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site relays that Zach Wilson is in line to draw the start in the team's preseason opener against Cleveland.

  • Reworks contract

    Rodgers agreed to a reworked deal with the Jets on Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Cimini notes that the quarterback is essentially taking a significant pay cut to help out the Jets. Specifically, $33.715 million is set to be trimmed from the $108.715 million he was still owed on his prior deal with Green Bay. Per Cimini, Rodgers' new contract is a two-year, fully guaranteed $75 million pact. Given the terms of the agreement, the chances that Rodgers sticks around in New York for more than one year appear to have increased.

WR Mecole Hardman (groin) and OT Mekhi Becton (knee) also are healthy and participating, while RB Breece Hall (knee), WR Randall Cobb (ankle) and TE C.J. Uzomah (leg) start camp on the PUP list.

  • Won't participate in full drills

    Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Rodgers (calf) won't participate in 11-on-11 drills Tuesday, but the veteran quarterback is cleared to do everything else, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Jets continue to monitor a minor calf strain that Rodgers suffered at the beginning of OTAs, but there hasn't been any indication it'll impact the quarterback's availability for training camp. Don't be surprised if Rodgers takes it easy for the remainder of New York's OTAs.

  • Hopeful to practice fully Friday

    Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Rodgers (calf) will be a limited participant at Wednesday's OTAs session, but the team is hopeful that the quarterback will practice fully Friday, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: Saleh said that Rodgers, who suffered a strained calf last week, is "fine," per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. The Jets don't appear worried about the status of the veteran quarterback, which reinforces the belief that he's simply dealing with a minor injury. Saleh said Rodgers will "for sure" be back in full next week, according to Cimini.

  • Diagnosed with strained calf

    Rodgers suffered a strained calf in Tuesday's practice, CBS Sports' Josina Anderson reports.

    Analysis: Rodgers' injury was initially reported as an ankle issue, but it's actually to his calf. According to Anderson, the injury is considered minor, and the veteran quarterback shouldn't miss much time. This doesn't seem like it will affect Rodgers' availability for training camp, but we might see the Jets dial him back for the remainder of OTAs.

  • Dealing with ankle injury

    Rodgers suffered an apparent ankle injury at Tuesday's OTA session and didn't participate in team drills, ESPN's Rich Cimini reports.

    Analysis: Rodgers appeared to tweak his ankle in warmups prior to practice and was seen getting checked by the training staff. He ended up sitting out the rest of the day but did remain on the sideline, suggesting his absence might have been more precautionary than anything else. It'll be interesting to see if Rodgers is back out there later this week. Either way, this doesn't have the sound of a long-term issue.

  • Takes part in optional workout

    Rodgers participated in an optional workout with the Jets on Thursday, one day after the deal sending him from Green Bay to New York became official.

    Analysis: Under the terms of the trade, the Jets received Rodgers, a first-round pick (No. 15 overall) and a fifth-round pick (No. 170) in this week's draft in exchange for selections No. 13 (Round 1), No. 42 (Round 2) and No. 207 (Round 6), plus a conditional second-rounder in 2024 that can become a first-rounder if the QB logs 65 percent of New York's offensive snaps this season.

    Analysis: While Rodgers said he informed Green Bay of his intention last Friday, he noted that both the Packers and Jets will still need to work out compensation to make any deal happen. With that in mind, Pelissero previously relayed that the two teams are continuing to negotiate on trade terms, and at this stage, Rodgers' time in Green Bay looks as though it could soon come to a close.

  • Jets optimistic after meeting with QB

    The Jets are reportedly becoming more confident in their chances of acquiring Rodgers after meeting with him earlier this week, sources tell Dianna Russini of ESPN.

    Analysis: The report suggests that the Jets and Packers have had conversations with regard to potential trade compensation in the event that the 39-year-old decides that he wants to move on from the franchise that drafted him in 2005, but at this stage, Rodgers has yet to make any announcements regarding his intentions for the coming NFL season. With that in mind, it still remains possible that Rodgers could either elect to remain with Green Bay or retire.

That said, at this stage Rodgers has yet to announce what he plans to do this coming season, with Graziano noting that if the QB elects to continue his playing career it's still possible he could decide that he'd prefer to remain with the Packers.

  • Falls short of playoffs

    Rodgers completed 17 of 27 pass attempts for 205 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 20-16 loss to Detroit.

    Analysis: Rodgers tried to keep the Packers' improbable run to the playoffs alive, but he threw a late interception that ultimately sealed the win for the visiting Lions. The 39-year-old turned in his worst season as a pro, finishing with 3,695 passing yards, 26 touchdowns and a career-high 12 interceptions across 17 games.

  • Takes back seat in win

    Rodgers completed 15 of 24 passes for 159 yards and a touchdown and added a two-yard TD on his only carry in Sunday's 41-17 win over the Vikings.

    Analysis: Green Bay grabbed a 14-3 lead in the first quarter on kickoff return and interception return touchdowns and never looked back, so Rodgers didn't have to do too much to lock up the victory. He still produced multiple TDs for the first time since Week 12, and the veteran QB will likely be more involved in Week 18 against the Lions, as a Packers win would send them into the postseason.

    Analysis: Rodgers took a hard hit to the knee during Sunday's 26-20 win over Miami, but he was able to finish the game and now has the Packers in decent shape to reach the playoffs as a wild card if Green Bay can win its final two games and get some minor help. With that in mind, he'll likely suit up Sunday if the knee issue is just a matter of pain tolerance.

    Analysis: Rodgers continues to post mediocre numbers -- he's gone six straight games without reaching 240 passing yards, and three straight with just one passing TD -- but a Packers defense that created four takeaways took the pressure off the quarterback to win the game himself.

Rodgers could have had a second touchdown in garbage time had rookie wideout Christian Watson not ran an incorrect route that would have gone for an easy four-yard score.

While the quarterback's stat line wasn't anything special, Rodgers' fourth-down touchdown to rookie Christian Watson gave Green Bay a much-needed score heading into halftime.

Rodgers was initially deemed to have suffered an oblique injury, but he clarified after the game that the injury was to his ribs, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com.

    Analysis: LaFleur went on to proactively dismiss any idea of Jordan Love starting over a healthy Rodgers, even though the Packers sit on a 4-8 record for the season and have seen their playoff hopes fade.

    Analysis: Rodgers once again put up some serviceable numbers and had the benefit of getting Randall Cobb back from injured reserve, but the end result was still the Packers' third Lambeau Field loss of the season.

  • Back at practice Thursday

    Rodgers (right thumb) took part in the open portion of Thursday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Rodgers kicked off Week 10 preparations with no activity as he got treatment on his balky right thumb, which has impacted his practice reps for five weeks running. During the four games playing with the injury, his performance waned a bit, as he completed 61 percent of his passes for 934 yards, six touchdowns and four interceptions during that span. Not all of the inconsistency can be chalked up to Rodgers' health, with the O-line juggling different alignments and the skill positions banged up,…read more

  • Sits out practice Wednesday

    Rodgers (thumb) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: For the fifth week in a row, Rodgers is opening game prep with either some or no activity. This time around, it was the latter, but that may be due to most of the Packers' skill-position group and top two offensive linemen having some sort of practice limitations Wednesday. Wide receivers Romeo Doubs (ankle) and Sammy Watkins (knee) also sat out the session, wideout Allen Lazard (shoulder) and running back Aaron Jones (ankle) were limited, and wideout Christian Watson (concussion protocol) was…read more

  • Throws three picks in loss

    Rodgers completed 23 of 43 pass attempts for 291 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions in Sunday's 15-9 loss to the Lions. He added 40 rushing yards on four attempts.

    Analysis: Rodgers should be pointing the finger at himself after nearly doubling his interception total for the season in a loss to a divisional opponent. The former MVP set new single-game highs in passing yards (291) and rushing yards (40), so he actually turned in one of the better fantasy performances of a disappointing 2022 campaign. Rodgers' lack of receiving help has been a highlighted issue for Green Bay this season, and he may end up even more short-handed after starting wideout Romeo Doubs…read more

  • Ready for Sunday

    Rodgers (thumb) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Detroit, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: He'll continue playing through the same injury that's limited his practice participation for a few weeks now. The bigger question for Rodgers is whether wide receivers Allen Lazard (shoulder) and Christian Watson (concussion) will play, as both are listed as questionable, and the Packers don't exactly have talent to spare at the position. Rodgers does get an A+ matchup, at least, playing in a dome against a Lions defense ranked dead last in both points and yards allowed.

    Analysis: Rodgers maintained his activity level from Wednesday, giving him just one more chance to ditch his designation before the end of the week. He's been able to do so each of the previous three, though, meaning he's in line to keep up the streak and gain clearance prior to Sunday's contest at Detroit.

    Analysis: As has been the case for each of the previous three weeks of practice, Rodgers will kick off a fourth with a cap on his reps. He's been able to ditch a designation before week's end on each occasion, so he'll likely do so again this week and be cleared for Sunday's game in Detroit.

    Analysis: Rodgers entered this tough matchup without several key receivers, and he lost de facto No. 3 wideout Christian Watson (concussion) in the first quarter. Excuses aside, it was another subpar fantasy day from the decorated quarterback. Rodgers has yet to eclipse 300 yards in a single game this season, and he no longer provides value as a runner at his advanced age (20 total rushing yards in 2022).

    Rodgers (thumb) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Buffalo.

    Analysis: The Packers have limited Rodgers' practice reps the past two weeks while he's dealt with an injury to the thumb on his throwing hand, but there was never any doubt he'd play in Sunday's game. Top wideout Allen Lazard, on the other hand, has been ruled out with a shoulder injury, leaving Rodgers with Romeo Doubs and Sammy Watkins as his likely top receivers against one of the best defenses in the leagues.

    Rodgers completed 23 of 35 passes for 194 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Packers' 23-21 loss to the Commanders on Sunday. He also committed a fumble that was recovered by Green Bay.

    Analysis: Rodgers' pedestrian stat line, which included a figure of 5.5 yards per attempt, underscores the difficulty he once again encountered in achieving any type of offensive cohesion. The future Hall of Famer was without trusted target Randall Cobb (IR-ankle), although he did get Sammy Watkins (hamstring) back into the fold.

    Rodgers completed 26 of 41 passes for 246 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Jets. He also was sacked four times and lost a fumble.

    Analysis: Rodgers' lone turnover came as a result of a fumbled handoff exchange with tailback AJ Dillon. While the signal caller doesn't carry sole blame for that play, it was nonetheless a frustrating outing for Rodgers, who lost trusted wideout Randall Cobb (ankle) during the game as well.

He also found particular rapport with Randall Cobb, whom Rodgers targeted on 13 of his 39 attempts.

The back-to-back MVP rebounded after halftime, though, finding trusted targets Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb on a few crucial plays and connecting with tight end Robert Tonyan and rookie Romeo Doubs for a pair of touchdowns.

The signal-caller was intercepted just before halftime, then began the second half by fumbling while being crunched on a sack.

    Analysis: The Packers have little to gain by exposing Rodgers to preseason contact, so look for the veteran QB's focus to turn to building chemistry with a Green Bay wideout corps that no longer includes Davante Adams.

    Analysis: Through the team's first two exhibitions, almost all of the regular skill-position players have donned street clothes rather than suit up. As for Rodgers himself, he hasn't seen action in the preseason since August 2018, when Mike McCarthy was coaching in Green Bay.

He still has one year remaining on his contract, and while there was some thought he'd try to force a trade this offseason, Rodgers could also retire or stick around with the Packers. It'll be an interesting few months in Green Bay, to say the least, with top receiver Davante Adams likely getting the franchise tag as his contract expires. Of course, if Rodgers wants out…read more

  • Solid performance not enough

    Rodgers completed 20 of 29 passes for 225 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions during the Packers' 13-10 loss to the 49ers in their NFC divisional-round matchup Saturday night. He also committed a fumble that was recovered by Green Bay.

    Analysis: Rodgers' numbers were underwhelming from a fantasy perspective due to the complete absence of touchdowns. The future Hall of Famer also couldn't follow up a very efficient first quarter with enough production the rest of the way, not leading another scoring drive until a 14-play, 57-yard march early in the fourth quarter that culminated in a Mason Crosby 33-yard field goal. Those points would prove to be the final ones of the night for Green Bay, with the Packers going backward on their final…read more

  • Logs full practice Tuesday

    Rodgers (toe) was a full practice participant Tuesday.

    Analysis: In his previous media availability last Wednesday, Rodgers relayed that his left pinkie toe fracture wouldn't be a problem for him during the playoffs. With the Packers set to open their postseason run Saturday versus the 49ers, he opened the week of prep without limitations on the practice field, a change from the norm that had been established since he sustained the injury. Stretching back to Week 11, Rodgers has put together 1,929 yards, 20 touchdowns and no interceptions in his last seven…read more

    Rodgers said Wednesday that his fractured left pinkie toe won't be an issue in the postseason, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Rodgers has been contending with the injury since his return from a stint on the reserve/COVID-19 list that forced him to sit out a Week 9 matchup with the Chiefs. While he didn't record a touchdown in his return Week 10 against the Seahawks, he's been on an absolute tear in the meantime, throwing for 20 scores versus no interceptions while racking up 1,929 yards over the last seven games. Rodgers relayed he hasn't taken a pain-killing injection in his toe since it was stepped on just before…read more

  • Brief showing

    Rodgers completed 14 of 18 pass attempts for 138 yards and two touchdowns against Detroit on Sunday. He also rushed once for seven yards.

    Analysis: Rodgers took a surprising amount of pressure in this brief appearance, getting sacked three times; however, this was otherwise little more than a walkthrough for the MVP candidate before Jordan Love took over in the second half. He finishes the year with 366 completions on 531 pass attempts, producing 4,115 yards, 38 touchdowns and four interceptions in 16 games. Guessing the future with Rodgers has been a rocky task in recent years, but a team doesn't willingly part with an MVP-winning…read more

    Analysis: Rodgers has played some of the best football of his career while dealing with the toe injury, and he wants to continue in Week 18 even with the Packers locked in for the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Friday that Rodgers will start Sunday, though LaFleur wasn't much help in terms of expectations for playing time, merely saying it would be based on how the game goes.

    Coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Rodgers will start Sunday's game against the Lions, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Playing a full game is another matter, with the Packers locked in for the NFC's No. 1 seed. LaFleur didn't provide much in terms of hints, simply saying he'll see how the game goes before making any decisions on pulling starters. That leaves Rodgers as a risky Week 18 fantasy option, albeit with huge upside in a dome game against a bad defense.

As a result, he seems to be healthier than he's been in some time and poised to get rid of his designation when the Packers post Friday's injury report, as he normally does.

Now with an appearance on the field on a Thursday, he appears to be the healthiest he's been in some time and will log at least a limited session.

    Rodgers (toe) completed 29 of 38 pass attempts for 288 yards and two touchdowns while rushing two times for eight more yards in Sunday's 37-10 rout of the Vikings.

    Analysis: Minnesota's defense was able to contain Rodgers for the first couple drives of the contest, but once the quarterback got rolling, it turned into a landslide victory. Things got so out of hand that backup Jordan Love got to run the offense for the final half of the fourth quarter. Rodgers improved his season total to 3,977 yards with a 69 percent completion rate.

The veteran quarterback seems to have avoided further aggravations of his toe injury since Week 14, and he's the frontrunner for NFL MVP after tossing 16 touchdowns (and zero interceptions) over the past five games.

Still, he's been on point during that span, with three 300-yard efforts and 16 touchdowns versus no interceptions.

The future Hall of Famer wasn't anywhere near as successful moving the ball in the second half, but he stayed away from turnovers altogether and did helm an 11-play, 76-yard march early in the third quarter to set up a Mason Crosby 32-yard field goal that would prove to be the Packers' final points of the afternoon.

His first came on a three-yarder to favorite target Davante Adams, then Rodgers found Aaron Jones from nine yards and Marquez Valdes-Scantling from 11 on his two scores in the second half.

He then managed one limited practice last week before a victory over the Bears, but Rodgers scaled back this week after aggravating his toe in that game.

    Analysis: There was no mention of surgery, which Rodgers bandied about after aggravating his toe injury during this past Sunday's win against the Bears. It appears the quarterback has avoided such a fate, but he also seems as if he'll cede practice reps to whichever quarterback is available this week, whether it's Jordan Love (illness) -- who is on the reserve/COVID-19 list -- or Kurt Benkert. Assuming his prediction comes to pass this weekend, Rodgers again will be under center Sunday at Baltimore.

    Analysis: While surgery wouldn't automatically mean missing a game, Rodgers hopes to avoid it after throwing for 300-plus yards and multiple touchdowns in each of his first three contests since suffering the toe fracture. He said a decision would come Monday after more testing, with Rodgers aiming for a plan that would allow him to play this Sunday in Baltimore.

  • Removed from injury report

    Rodgers (toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Minnesota.

    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.

    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.

  • Returns to practice

    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.

    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.

  • No practice Thursday

    Rodgers (toe) was a spectator at Thursday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    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.

    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.

  • Not practicing Wednesday

    Rodgers wasn't present at the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    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.

  • Quiet but sufficient in return

    Rodgers completed 23 of 37 pass attempts for 292 yards and one interception against Seattle on Sunday.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday that Rodgers (illness) has continued to take part in virtual meetings this week and remains on track to start Sunday against the Seahawks, provided the quarterback "checks out well" when eligible to return from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: During his appearance Tuesday on "The Pat McAfee Show," Rodgers was optimistic that he would clear all COVID-19-related protocols prior to Sunday's game, and the fact that LaFleur expressed similar sentiments is a reassuring sign. Even so, due to his status as an unvaccinated player who tested positive for the virus, Rodgers will need to pass a cardiac screen and exhibit improved symptoms at the conclusion of his 10-day isolation period Saturday in order to play the following day. Rodgers said…read more

  • Confident in playing Week 10

    Rodgers (illness) said Tuesday during his appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" that he's confident he'll clear all necessary COVID-19 protocols in order to play Sunday against the Seahawks. "I believe there's a health hurdle -- movement, sweating and getting into it and making sure my body, especially my heart -- is fine with physical exertion," Rodgers said, when asked about any potential barriers to him playing this weekend.

    Analysis: Since Rodgers is following the protocol for unvaccinated players, he won't be eligible to return to the Packers' facility any earlier than Saturday, 10 days after he initially tested positive for the virus. Based on Rodgers' comments, he doesn't seem to be exhibiting any symptoms of the virus, but in order to be eligible to play, he'll still need to turn in consecutive negative test results at least 24 hours apart by the end of the 10-day period. Because of the timing of his placement on the…read more

Head coach Matt LaFleur mentioned Wednesday that Rodgers "won't be available this week" and doesn't know how long the quarterback will be sidelined.

  • Out Week 9, could sit Week 10, too

    Rodgers (illness), who won't be eligible to play Sunday against the Chiefs after informing teammates Wednesday that he tested positive for COVID-19, could also be at risk of missing the Packers' Week 10 game against the Seahawks on Nov. 14 due to his status as an unvaccinated player, Ian Rapoport and Mike Garofolo of NFL Network report.

    Analysis: Though Rodgers told Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com and other Green Bay media Aug. 26 that he was "immunized," that evidently didn't equate to him being vaccinated. Per NFL COVID-19 protocols, unvaccinated players who test positive for the virus are required to complete a 10-day isolation period and aren't eligible to return until they're no longer exhibiting symptoms.

    Rodgers completed 22 of 37 passes for 184 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Packers' 24-21 win over the Cardinals on Thursday night. He also rushed twice for three yards.

    Analysis: Playing without top wideouts Davante Adams and Allen Lazard due to their placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Rodgers faced an uphill battle against an undefeated Cardinals team and persevered. The veteran QB worked around the makeshift receiving corps by targeting running back Aaron Jones a team-high 11 times, and he also leveraged his extensive rapport with veteran Randall Cobb into a pair of second-half passing touchdowns.

    Analysis: Rodgers started slowly with a scoreless first quarter before notching his first of two touchdown throws on a one-yard shovel pass to Allen Lazard early in the second quarter. The future Hall of Famer would go on to lead a 10-play, 90-yard march in the third quarter that culminated in a 12-yard scoring toss to Aaron Jones, and Rodgers capped off the fantasy-friendly effort with a six-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter that saw him get just inside the right pylon and then jaw some with…read more

His first touchdown came on a 12-yarder to tailback AJ Dillon, then Rodgers floated a fade to favorite Davante Adams for a five-yard score before halftime.

    Analysis: Rodgers wasn't at his absolute sharpest, but he did tie Dan Marino for sixth all-time in touchdown passes (420) in a mistake-free effort. The future Hall of Famer connected with Randall Cobb on scoring tosses of 23 yards and one yard, the latter the milestone throw in the latter portion of the third quarter.

    Analysis: Rodgers led an improbable drive with 37 seconds left in the contest to put Mason Crosby in position to hit the 51-yard winning kick. The superstar quarterback has looked like just that over the last two contests after a horrid Week 1 performance that had many questioning his abilities and commitment to the Packers.

    Analysis: Rodgers bounced back from a poor Week 1 performance to throw nearly as many touchdowns as incompletions. The reigning MVP's volume was limited in the first half as Aaron Jones was established as Green Bay's centerpiece, yet Rodgers still found his tailback with a couple short scores early on.

    Analysis: Maybe all that time Rodgers missed while deciding whether he wanted to return to Green Bay for another season had an impact after all. The 37-year-old threw only five INTs all of last year and went the entire 2018 campaign getting picked off only twice, but Rodgers was intercepted on consecutive drives in the second half Sunday to squash any hope of a comeback.

  • Week 1 moved to Florida

    Rodgers and the Packers will play their Week 1 game against the Saints in Jacksonville after the contest was moved from New Orleans due to the impact of Hurricane Ida, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: The Packers will avoid a true road game, though Rodgers might have been looking forward to slinging the ball around in a dome environment, where he owns a career 8.3 yards per attempt and 64:12 TD:INT. In any case, he'll head to Jacksonville to face the Saints before returning to Green Bay to host the Lions on "Monday Night Football" in Week 2. The Packers recently placed star left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) on the PUP list, but their offense otherwise appears healthy heading into Week 1.

In any case, Rodgers -- who previously expressed frustration with the organization -- is in the fold and currently practicing with the team in training camp.

It remains to be seen how things will play out between Rodgers and the Packers, but it will likely be Jordan Love and Blake Bortles seeing most of the reps with the first-team offense in his absence.

Gutekunst said he received one call inquiring about the veteran quarterback during the draft, but it wasn't a long conversation. It previously appeared Rodgers was locked in with Green Bay at least until the 2022…read more

  • Fed up with management

    Rodgers is so disgruntled with the Packers that he's told some people he doesn't want to return to the team, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Schefter also reports that the Rams (in February) and the 49ers (on Wednesday) have inquired about trading for Rodgers but were turned away by the Packers, who seemingly hope to mend the relationship with their future Hall of Fame QB. Thursday's report stops short of saying Rodgers will demand a trade, but it sounds like he's considering options to hasten his departure from Green Bay. While recent reports have suggested that won't happen any earlier than the 2022 offseason, the latest info from…read more

  • Not expecting trade

    Rodgers expects to stay with the Packers for 2021, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. "I don't think that there's any reason why I wouldn't be back, but there's not many absolutes in this business," Rodgers said Tuesday.

    Analysis: While an MVP award may not be enough to stop trade rumors, it doesn't sound like 2021 will mark the beginning of the Jordan Love era in Green Bay. Packers CEO Mark Murphy was emphatic earlier this week when a radio host asked him about the QB situation, saying "there's no way in heck Aaron is not gonna be on the Packers," per NFL.com. That doesn't necessarily mean Rodgers will stay with the Packers through the end of his contract in 2023, but he'll likely stay put for at least one more season.

  • Throws for 346 yards in loss

    Rodgers completed 33 of 48 passes for 346 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 31-26 loss to the Buccaneers in the NFC Championship Game.

    Analysis: As has been the case for the entirety of the season, Rodgers played at an MVP level and nearly led the Packers back from an 18-point deficit. He hit on several big plays to Marquez Valdes-Scantling, connecting for a 50-yard touchdown early in the second quarter as well as gains of 29 and 24 yards. Rodgers' other two scores came from eight and two yards, respectively. His only glaring error came just before halftime, when he threw an interception that ultimately led to a Buccaneers touchdown.…read more

  • Three TDs in playoff win

    Rodgers completed 23 of 36 pass attempts for 296 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Packers' divisional-round win over the Rams. He also added a rushing touchdown.

    Analysis: Rodgers made the strong Rams' defense look ordinary in the win, completing five pass for more than 20 yards. He regularly extended plays when pressure got through the line, including a 33-yard completion to Robert Tonyan just before halftime. Rodgers also delivered a perfect, game-clinching strike to Allen Lazard over the middle of the field in the fourth quarter for a 58-yard touchdown. He and the Packers will now await their opponent in the NFC Championship Game, but will be hosting either…read more

    Rodgers completed 19 of 24 passes for 240 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 35-16 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Rodgers threw three touchdowns in the first half and could've had another deep one to start the second if not for a drop. Although Chicago failed to secure a couple would-be interceptions, Rodgers once again got the best of his long-time divisional foe, locking up the NFC's top seed in the process. At 37 years old, Rodgers set a new Packers franchise record with 48 passing touchdowns versus just five interceptions and added another three scores on the ground as well.

    Rodgers completed 21 of 25 pass attempts for 231 yards, four touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 40-14 win over the Titans. He added 19 yards on three carries.

    Analysis: Rodgers was in his element on a snowy night at Lambeau Field under the bright lights of Sunday Night Football. While the veteran gunslinger did throw his fifth interception of the season, his four incompletions marked a new low for 2020. The 36-year-old currently sits north of a 70 percent completion rate for the first time in his career while also eclipsing the 4,000-yard mark for the ninth time over 11 full seasons. With 44 touchdowns to the aforementioned five picks, Rodgers has put himself…read more

    Rodgers completed 20 of his 29 pass attempts for 143 yards and one touchdown in Week 15 against the Panthers. He added five rushes for 26 yards and another touchdown on the ground.

    Analysis: Rodgers was in rhythm early and led the Packers to touchdowns on each of their first two drives. He capped the first with a one-yard touchdown toss to Robert Tonyan before rushing into the end zone for a five-yard touchdown on Green Bay's second drive. However, Rodgers wouldn't reach the end zone again and took to the air only 10 times in the second half after building a three-possession lead.

  • Another masterful showing Week 14

    Rodgers completed 26 of 33 pass attempts for 290 yards and three touchdowns, adding six carries for 13 yards and a rushing TD during Sunday's 31-24 win against the Lions.

    Analysis: After Detroit managed to keep the game tied through two quarters, Rodgers led the Packers to a combined 17 points over Green Bay's first three drives of the second half. In doing so, the eight-time Pro Bowler helped his team secure a second consecutive NFC North crown. Rodgers also currently has Green Bay situated as the conference's top seed, and it's hard to argue his 39:4 TD:INT isn't of MVP level. The 10-3 Packers prepare to host the sliding Panthers on Saturday night.

  • Reaches 400 career TDs

    Rodgers completed 25 of 34 passes for 295 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: It was another surgical performance for Rodgers, who found Robert Tonyan on a 25-yard TD late in the second quarter sandwiched between a pair of red-zone touchdowns to Davante Adams. The second score to Adams was also a record setter, as Rodgers reached 400 career touchdown passes faster than any other player in NFL history. He'll look to bolster his MVP case further, and get the Packers closer to another NFC North title, in Week 14 against a very vulnerable Lions secondary.

    Analysis: Rodgers methodically dismantled one of the league's best pass defenses in the national spotlight, putting the game seemingly out of reach with three touchdowns on the Packers' first three drives. The future Hall of Famer also reached 50,000 career passing yards, becoming just the 11th quarterback to ever reach that milestone.

  • Tacks on three more touchdowns

    Rodgers completed 27 of 38 pass attempts for 311 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Week 11 against the Colts.

    Analysis: Rodgers put together another impressive performance, turning in his third consecutive game with at least 300 passing yards and three or more total touchdowns. He did make a few mistakes, most notably a mishandled snap on the team's first drive and an interception later in the first quarter. However, he was strong from there, slinging touchdowns of 25, five and four yards. Things may be a bit more difficult for Rodgers in Week 12 in what will likely be a slow-paced matchup against the Bears.

    Rodgers completed 24 of 34 pass attempts with 325 yards, two passing touchdowns and an interception during Sunday's 24-20 win against the Jaguars. He added three rushes for a total of four yards, including a five-yard touchdown run.

    Analysis: The MVP frontrunner continues to churn out multi-TD performances, with Sunday's outing marking his fourth in a row with at least three total scores. Rodgers has also exceeded 300 passing yards in back-to-back weeks, as well as four total times on the season, already equaling his total from 16 appearances during 2019.

    Rodgers completed 25 of 31 passes for 305 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions in the Packers' 34-17 win over the 49ers on Thursday night. He also rushed once for seven yards.

    Analysis: Four days after the Packers suffered a surprising home loss to the Vikings, Rodgers helped ensure there would be no second straight upset. He got off to a hot start and never looked back, hitting Davante Adams for a 36-yard touchdown to cap off a crisp opening 75-yard drive and adding scoring tosses of one and 52 yards to Marcedes Lewis and Marquez Valdes-Scantling before halftime. Rodgers would hit MVS again for another score early in the second half, giving the perennial Pro Bowl signal…read more

  • Falls short against Vikings

    Rodgers completed 27 of 41 passes for 291 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: All three TD passes went to Davante Adams, but Minnesota's Dalvin Cook was even better with four scores of his own, and Rodgers fumbled after a sack on the final play of the game while trying to engineer a game-winning drive. He's thrown for at least three touchdowns in five of seven starts this season en route to a stellar 20:2 TD:INT, but Rodgers could face stiffer opposition in Week 9 from the 49ers' secondary.

    Analysis: Rodgers led the Packers to four touchdowns on their first six possessions, throwing for a score on each occasion. He connected with Davante Adams for a 45-yard touchdown late in the third quarter but otherwise worked the team steadily down the field for three scores within the five-yard line. It was a much more characteristic performance for Rodgers, who struggled in a Week 6 matchup against Tampa Bay. He and Green Bay will take on the Vikings in another exploitable matchup in Week 8.

    Analysis: Rodgers completed eight of his first 12 passes while leading a pair of scoring drives to start the game, but he fell on hard times soon after. He threw a pick-six on the third drive of the game and followed that up with another interception. The veteran never looked right the rest of the way, as he finished with a dismal 46 percent completion rate.

With them sidelined, Green Bay featured tailbacks Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams prominently in the passing game, with Jones catching Rodgers' first touchdown, but it was tight end Robert Tonyan who stole the show.

The 36-year-old has thrown nine touchdowns while committing no turnovers through the first three games of the season. His 8.4 yards per attempt is the highest it has been since his 2014 MVP campaign.

With Green Bay dominating on the ground, Rodgers' numbers took a step back after he threw for 364 yards and four touchdowns in the season opener.

    Analysis: The perennial Pro Bowler was in pristine, vintage form to kick off the new campaign, shrugging off the lack of a consistent No. 2 receiver and proven reliable primary tight end to repeatedly eviscerate the Vikings secondary. Rodgers connected with seven different Packers, and the majority of his attention unsurprisingly focused on Davante Adams, whom he hit on 14 occasions for 156 yards and two touchdowns.

At Sunday's practice in particular, he connected with Davante Adams and Jake Kumerow on back-to-back 40-plus-yard touchdowns before closing the session with a two-minute drill that concluded with a successful 47-yard field goal by Mason Crosby. Due to the makeup of the skill-position ranks, the Packers may run more than ever for a Rodgers-led squad with Aaron Jones,…read more

    Talking to the media late Thursday night, Packers GM Brian Gutekunst said he hadn't spoken with Rodgers about the team's decision to use a first-round pick on fellow quarterback Jordan Love, Olivia Reiner of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Rodgers likely was hoping for a draft pick that would help him win games in 2020. Instead, he saw the Packers draft his potential successor at No. 26 overall, though Gutekunst believes it's too early to say that Love will eventually replace Rodgers, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports. There's an obvious disconnect between the words and the actions, so this should be an ongoing storyline throughout spring and summer.

    Rodgers completed 31 of 39 passes for 326 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions during the Packers' 37-20 loss to the 49ers in Sunday's NFC Championship Game. He also netted zero yards on his sole rush and committed three fumbles, losing one.

    Analysis: Rodgers' final numbers were more than acceptable from a fantasy perspective, but they were largely the byproduct of a game script that called for the Packers to consistently put the ball up throughout the second half in response to a 27-0 halftime deficit. The 36-year-old signal caller made do with the thin receiving corps he was saddled with this past regular season, one that had no consistently viable second option behind Adams.

    Analysis: Rodgers completed just 59 percent of his pass attempts, but he averaged a healthy 9.0 yards per attempt thanks to some big gains through the air. The majority of his damage was done when targeting Davante Adams, who piled up 160 yards while reaching the end zone in the first and third quarters. Rodgers could be busier in next week's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers, but he could face a tough task against one of the league's best defensive units.

However, the veteran quarterback threw for 233 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the second half to earn a dramatic, last-second win. Though Rodgers appears unlikely to ever replicate his 40-touchdown campaigns, he closed the regular season with a pristine 26:4 TD:INT ratio and surpassed 4,000 passing yards for the third time in his last four seasons.

    Analysis: Rodgers had another underwhelming night from a fantasy perspective, but of overriding importance was the fact he helped the Packers clinch the NFC North crown and remain alive for the NFC's No. 1 seed in the process. Rodgers failed to throw a touchdown pass for the third time in 2019 -- although he did have a scoring throw in the form of a two-point conversion pass to Geronimo Allison -- but he extended his interception-less streak to nine games despite a season-low 48.5 percent completion…read more

He connected early and often with Davante Adams, striking gold on a 29-yard touchdown connection in the first quarter, but the veteran quarterback played the role of game manager for much of the afternoon.

    Analysis: Rodgers got his day off to a strong start before cooling off, and Aaron Jones ultimately was as responsible for helping keep the chains moving with 134 rushing yards and a team-high 58 more yards through the air. The perennial Pro Bowler averaged a relatively modest 7.0 yards per attempt and took four sacks from an aggressive Redskins front.

    Analysis: The field was covered in snow in the Meadowlands, so conventional wisdom might have leaned toward a ground-and-pound game. Rodgers and the Packers went against that early with two passing touchdowns on the team's first two drives, including a deep 37-yard shot to Allen Lazard off of play action.

    Analysis: His 4.6 YPA was his worst performance of the season, and Rodgers' yardage total was also his lowest of 2019. The Chargers dominated the game by keeping the Packers offense off the field with a strong running attack, and when Rodgers did get the ball, Nick Bosa and Melvin Ingram gave him little time to find a receiver. Rodgers will get a chance to rebound next week against a Carolina defense that just gave up over 300 passing yards to Ryan Tannehill.
