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!

beast (8h) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (8h) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (18h) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (18h) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (20h) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (21h) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22h) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22h) : Thank you

wpr (22h) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22h) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22h) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22h) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22h) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (23h) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (23h) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (23h) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (23h) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (23h) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE

packerfanoutwest (21-Jan) : Zero, per your orders, check Bearshome, not packershome

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Then he'll land with another team and flourish.
