We have seen McCarthy allow Rodgers to play without practicing during the week (last year, first quarter of the season Rodgers injured his leg and had not practiced for a few weeks when McCarthy talked about how that had affected his fundamentals and stressed getting Rodgers back in practice was going to make a difference).

However, considering the emphasis on protected concussed players, I think McCarthy will be safe and keep Rodgers out.

I could see McCarthy having Rodgers as a back-up in case Flynn gets injured, but I do not think we will be seeing Rodgers start this week.

If Rodgers sustained a concussion. My ignorant knowledge of concussions is that a player can falsely provide concussion like symptoms.


I'm not getting off this horse until he misses the game, or the Packers add a QB to the 53 lol

I seen we made some moves, was adding a QB one of them?

Did Rodgers practice today?

---

Rodgers didn't practice. Flynn got all the reps with the 1s.

McCarthy got asked about QBs a while ago. If necessary, he said that they'll sign Graham Harrell to the 53 men roster.

If I recall correctly, they still don't have an answer on whether Rodgers will play or not.

Good thing is, according to McCarthy, Flynn can handle the regular gameplan if he has to.

Yeah, I seen't it too.

What moves did they make?
I can't find anything.

Thanks.

I'm still gonna stick to my little theory and assume he's going to play. Although, I was thinking about it, they don't need to active the practice squad player as he can get reps while on the PS.

This is crazy to me that Rodgers might not start. It would seem to me that a concussion diagnosis would be a straightforward call shortly after the event since that is when the symptoms are most acute. How do they make this call 5 days after the incident? Has he had headaches this week?

Also, to echo zombislayer's article on the YAC, why the feck are making the same goddamn mistakes as last year in calling plays that take so long to develop. Last year, we turned into a winning team by executing a short passing game.

They do tests for neurological function. Cognitive, coordination, balance, memory etc. They took a base line series before the season and they compare current results. If there is any indication of lingering effects, he is benched.

Interesting. Based on all the quotes I have heard (playing cards on the plane, responsive right after the hit) my guess is it would seem likely that Aaron Rodgers will be ok to play then.
