“Had some hard time breathing and rotating my upper body. I was worried about puncturing the lung as well. So, I want to get that checked out….get scanned up,” Rodgers said. He ruled out being out for the season and said he expects to play next week. But that would depend on him getting a clear from the medical staff.

The season has gone from bad to worse for the Packers. With every passing game week, it is becoming evident that the Packers will not feature in the playoff lineup this season. They have won just four times in the 12 games they played this year.

Aaron Rodgers had a mixed game for the Packers. Before going off due to the injury, the Packers QB threw two touchdown passes. But the Eagles’ defense also intercepted two of his passes. Adding to that the two injuries that he has now, the equation becomes very bleak for him and his franchise. He might not feature in the week 13 game against the Chicago Bears. A big blow indeed.

Love will probably replace Rodgers next week if needed. He showed a little glimpse of what can be expected of him. He threw six completions for 113 yards after replacing Rodgers. Love also threw one touchdown pass. The Packers are third in their division and a playoff berth looks unlikely. Where will they finish on the table?
