But is he throwing balls to the running backs

On the Pat McAfee Show, the star QB was asked if he can throw with his left arm. A-Rod narrated the high school incident, where he tried throwing with his left hand. He could throw up to 40 yards but gave it up because of the shoulder pain. The 38-year-old admitted he can’t try with his left hand anymore.
Rodgers set to play on Sunday
The Packers QB said his thumb is all right while speaking to the media on Wednesday. “It was nice to get a day off today. Do a little rehab. But, you know, I’ll try to get back out there and practice and see how it feels and be fine by Sunday, I’m sure,” Rodgers said.
A day later, it was exactly what the star did for the Packers. A-Rod arrived on time and attended the practice. The 38-year-old looked motivated and will have a key role in the all-important Sunday encounter.
