Aaron Rodgers injury update 

After the Packers ended a two-game losing streak to put their fifth win of the season on the board. The win over the Bears also keeps them alive in the playoff race. But the major concern in every fan’s mind is the status of the injuries that have plagued Aaron Rodgers. So naturally, the question came up in the post-game press conference after the win. “Yeah, I think my thumb is close to being a non-issue. I am able to go back to taking the snap the old way, which is really nice. And the ribs will be close probably,” Rodgers responded.

Playing through the injuries 

Aaron Rodgers has been playing through big injuries for almost the entire season till now. He sustained a major thumb injury in the week five loss to the New York Giants in London. But neither the player nor the team disclosed the injury till recently. Rodgers taped up his thumb and played through the pain.

If that wasn’t enough, he got an oblique muscle injury in the ribs in the week 11 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Rodgers left the field in the third quarter of the game. Backup quarterback Jordan Love replaced him for the remainder of that game and impressed quite a lot. After the Eagles clash, many suspected that Rodgers’ season was over. But he is Aaron Rodgers. No injury seems to be able to keep him off the field. He came in for the Bears game and posted a touchdown without an interception.

The Packers are 5-8 after the end of week 13. Can they launch a late charge for a place in the NFL postseason?
