GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers came out of Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Vikings with a sprain on one foot and sprained toe on the other.

Packers coach Mike McCarthy says Rodgers could miss time in practice this week but is expected to play Sunday at Tampa Bay without hurting his mobility.

It's been a long year for Rodgers. He has been sacked 31 times overall -- worst in the NFL -- including six by Minnesota on Sunday.

Rodgers was limping after the game but said he expected to be OK after a few days.

McCarthy also says linebacker Brandon Chillar has a broken hand and was scheduled to have surgery Monday. He is expected to miss at least two weeks.

What a wuss. He should take those 5 sacks/game more like a man.

I really have to admire Rodgers. He's playing behind a porous line and in addition, he has to fill in the shoes of a fan favorite. He's got so much pressure on him.

I'd never want to be in his position.

But, he's handled it with more composure than anyone could have dreamed. Sure, he came up short yesterday, but goddamn did he try his hardest to deliver victory, bad first half notwithstanding.

He's a gamer and he's got a bright future ahead of him. It's rare that a team is able to go from one good quarterback to another. Now if he could only get some blocking.

Actually I would embrace that position.. why?

Because you would never allow yourself to fail.. you would never lack motivation to improve and work your ass off.. you would become a true leader of men.

Adversity placed upon the right soul can make something truly magical develop..

Aaron Rodgers will become one of the greatest players to play for this franchise when it is all said and done.. he might not hold the records some have, but he will lead this franchise to great heights in his career.

His career path of playing has been truly impressive, and we are just beginning to see what he can do.

Some note how he doesn't read the defense correctly presnap, or has mastered the art of the quick throw.. that comes with time and more importantly experience.. and it is coming.

I remember another QB in his early days extending plays and taking a beating behind some pourous lines.. he overcame that and went on to be truly great.

Aaron is walking on familiar ground to those that seen it in the early 90's.. and it is coming along just fine.

Best part is those victories over the Vikings in the coming years will be just a bit sweeter.

i think we can expect this kind of headline for the rest of the season.

hopefully, the "but is expected to play" will always be a part of it.

Only in the eyes of idiot Favre fans. Educated Packers fans realize he's his own man, will be judged on his own merits, and doesn't have to stand in for anyone.

War Rodgers!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Went to a Titans board. One comment there. Not very long. I quote: "LOL" They don't sound overly upset about our aquisition.
