Aaron Rodgers will be 100 percent by next week
“That’s been the most encouraging thing. Got through last week without doing one,” Rodgers said during a press conference on Wednesday. “It was just a pretty standard shot in the toe — very painful, but numbing agent. So that helped me get through the games. The whole goal was to be able to not have to do that, and it’s been a few games now without doing that.”

I think I should be 100% probably by next week.”
