Rodgers Status Up To The Doctors Now

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has looked good throwing the ball in practice and he says he feels good. That’s fine to hear, but it has no bearing on whether he suits up next Sunday.  Rodgers went through a battery of tests Monday as the medical experts try to determine if it is safe for him to strap on the shoulder pads and helmet, and return to action.  Coach Mike McCarthy says he has no timetable for when that decision might be made.  If the doctors clear him, Rodgers could start getting ready tomorrow (Wednesday) when the Packers return to practice.  He is eligible to be returned to the 53-man roster from the N-F-L injured reserve list Saturday.  He’s missed seven games and the Packers have won three of them.  When he broke his left collarbone in 2013, Rodgers missed seven games, but that break wasn’t as severe and it didn’t involve his throwing shoulder.
