Rodgers completed 19-of-30 passes for 241 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's win over the Rams. He added 39 yards on the ground, but lost a fumble.
The talk in Green Bay is how Rodgers had his first interception at home since 2012. Perhaps more amazingly, Sunday was his first three-turnover game since Week 9 of the 2009 season. All Sunday's, by his standards, rough outing against a very good Rams defense proves is that Rodgers is human. He still ranks first in the league in touchdown passes and second in passer rating.

Rodgers completed 22-of-32 passes for 224 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-3 win at San Francisco. He also ran three times for 33 yards.
Rodgers made some nice plays, as usual, but also missed a couple of easy throws. He nearly scored on a 17-yard run in the third quarter, but was stopped at the one-yard line, and fullback John Kuhn later rumbled into the end zone. Rodgers is arguably the league's best QB, both in real terms and fantasy wise, but keep in mind he's been somewhat ordinary on the road over the last couple of seasons. Entering Sunday's game, he's posted a mortal 25:11 TD:INT ratio over his last 14 games away from home, while compiling a ridiculous 43:0 TD:INT ratio during that same span at Lambeau Field. It's all irrelevant though, as fantasy owners are going to play him under any circumstance. In Week 5, the veteran QB will have a home tilt against the Rams, who have played solid defense so far this year.

Rodgers completed 24-of-35 passes for 333 yards and five touchdowns in Monday night's win over the Chiefs.
Rodgers pit together an outstanding performance Monday night, routinely marching the Packers downfield and punctuating drives with touchdowns tosses. The reigning MVP has now thrown for 10 touchdowns and zero interceptions through Green Bay's first three games and his 333 yards Monday night set an early season-high mark. In Week 4, Rodgers will travel to play a 49ers defense that currently ranks 28th in the NFL against the pass.

Rodgers completed 25 of 33 passes for 249 yards and two touchdowns in Monday's 27-17 win over the Seahawks, adding six carries for 23 yards.
Rodgers made the most of his modest volume for a second straight week, despite working with a depleted supporting cast. Randall Cobb (shoulder) looked pretty healthy while catching eight passes for 116 yards, but Davante Adams (ankle) missed most of the second quarter, and Eddie Lacy (ankle) only played one drive. Rodgers was sharp throughout the game, making a number of perfect throws into tight coverage. Even with a banged-up supporting cast, he'll be one of the top quarterback options in Week 3, facing the Chiefs on Monday Night Football.

Rodgers completed 18 of 23 passes for 189 yards and three touchdowns, while also rushing eight times for 35 yards Sunday against the Bears.
Rodgers threw his first two touchdowns to James Jones, who the Packers signed Monday after he was cut from the Giants. The two have history together, so it's not overly surprising they had good chemistry right away. Rodgers' third touchdown went to Randall Cobb, who has battled a shoulder injury and caught only five passes for 38 yards. Davante Adams was the most targeted wideout (four catches on eight targets for 59 yards), so while the Packers' offense won't be quite as prolific without Jordy Nelson, who is out for the season with a torn ACL, they can still put up plenty of passing stats with Rodgers under center. Up next in Week 2 is the home opener against the Seahawks.
Sat Aug 29 201519:18Rodgers isn't playing Saturday against Eagles
Rodgers isn't playing Saturday against the Eagles, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The development isn't a surprise, as the Packers' offensive line is without key members -- David Bakhtiari (knee), T.J. Lang (concussion), and Josh Sitton (ankle) -- at the moment. Although Rodgers' backup, Scott Tolzien, has cleared the concussion protocol, he isn't expected to take the field. Thus, rookie Brett Hundley will get the nod Saturday, with Matt Blanchard likely taking over in the second half.
Fri Aug 28 201511:44Aaron Rodgers: Might Be Held Out Until Week 1
Rodgers will likely play sparingly in Saturday's preseason game against the Eagles, and could see limited or no action the rest of the preseason, ESPN.com reports.
A few game reps without Jordy Nelson probably wouldn't hurt Rodgers and the Packers' offense, but the Packers' offensive line is banged up, and the team already suffered one key injury during training camp, so they will likely take the cautious route and play him sparingly at most the rest of the preseason. Backup quarterback Scott Tolzien is likely out Saturday as well, so expect to see plenty of Brett Hundley and Matt Blanchard under center in the Packers' third preseason game.

Rodgers completed 4-of-5 passes for 57 yards before exiting to begin the second quarter of Sunday's preseason game against the Steelers.
The Packers marched down the field and scored a touchdown on their opening possession, with Rodgers looking sharp in his limited duty on Sunday. While Rodgers -- who gave way to Scott Tolzien to open the second quarter -- avoided injury in the contest, wideout Jordy Nelson left the game early after sustaining an unspecified injury.

Rodgers completed 11-of-19 pass attempts for 117 yards prior to his early exit from Thursday's preseason opener against the Patriots.
Before being replaced by Scott Tolzien, the Packers' star QB got some work in with the likes of wideouts Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and Davante Adams, while more importantly, emerging for the team's preseason opener intact and unhurt.

Rodgers was wearing full pads and helmet in advance of Thursday's preseason contest at New England, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
Per usual, Rodgers will likely direct the offense for one or two series, before making way for backup Scott Tolzien. Expect a similar breakdown of snaps until the third preseason outing, when the starters typically take the field for the entire first half.

Rodgers said he hasn't needed treatment on his calf recently and isn't concerned about it going forward, ESPN.com reports.
Rodgers battled through a calf injury during the playoffs, but it was never expected to be an issue for the upcoming season. He'll enter training camp at full health, playing in an offense that brings back all of its key pieces. There are few quarterbacks, if any, with a comparable combination of skill and team context.
Sat Jan 31 201522:13Aaron Rodgers: Named 2014 NFL MVP
Rodgers (calf) has been named the AP 2014 NFL Most Valuable Player, NFL.com reports.
Rodgers will be awarded his second MVP award after a season where he racked up 4,381 passing yards and a spectacular 38:5 touchdown to interception ratio. Although he dealt with a calf injury that limited his mobility in the later parts of the season, the 31-year-old was still able to lead Green Bay to the NFC Championship game, where the Packers nearly knocked off the defending Super Bowl champions. One of his main weapons, receiver Randall Cobb, is set to become a free agent this offseason, but other than that, the majority of his weapons should remain in tact, setting Rodgers up for another big statistical season in 2015.

Rodgers estimates that his calf injury should heal in about six weeks, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Of course, Rodgers -- who was hobbled by the injury during the Packers' recent playoff charge -- indicated that he would have continued to play through the issue had the team advanced to the Super Bowl. As it is, he'll now have plenty of time to recover fully, well before the Packers take the field again. Meanwhile, with Rodgers sitting out the upcoming Pro Bowl, Cincinnati's Andy Dalton will participate in the contest in his place.

Rodgers completed 19-of-34 passes for 178 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's NFC Championship Game loss to Seattle.
Rodgers was not himself for much of the game, as he sailed a few throws in the first half and dealt with mobility issues stemming from his well-publicized calf injury. While he was able to move the Green Bay offense into field goal range late in the fourth quarter, he often settled for short throws and the Packers converted only three of 14 third downs. Heading into the offseason, it's unclear whether Rodgers' calf issue will require surgery, but he figures to return at 100 percent for the 2015 season.

Rodgers (calf) is listed as active for Sunday's NFC Championship game against the Seahawks, the Packers' official site reports.
Rodgers will continue to tough it out through his calf issue on Sunday against a rugged Seattle defense that allowed a league-low 185.6 passing yards per game to go along with 17 passing TDs (only Buffalo allowed less) during the regular season.
Fri Jan 16 201512:43Rodgers (calf) probable for Sunday's game against Seattle
Rodgers (calf) is probable for Sunday's game against Seattle, ESPN Wisconsin's Jason Wilde reports.
Rodgers' calf injury clearly limited him early on in Green Bay's divisional round victory over Dallas, but it seemed to loosen up as the game went on. He was able to practice all week leading up to this weekend, albeit in a limited capacity. Of equal or greater concern than the calf is the matchup at Seattle itself, as Rodgers was able to accumulate just 189 yards, one touchdown and one interception on 33 pass attempts when Green Bay lost at Seattle in Week 1 of the regular season.
Thu Jan 15 201516:36Rodgers (calf) listed as limited practice participant once again...
Rodgers (calf) was listed as a limited practice participant once again on Thursday, the Packers' official site reports.
Rodgers remains on track to play Sunday against Seattle, with coach Mike McCarthy noting encouragingly on Thursday that his star QB "participated in the second part of practice, went through pass under pressure and went through two team periods."
Wed Jan 14 201518:22Updating earlier report
Updating an earlier report, Rodgers (calf) was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Per the Packers' official site, Rodgers -- who continues to battle a calf injury -- feels "pretty similar" to how he felt at this time last week. In any case, it would take an unexpected setback in the coming days in order for Rodgers to not start Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Seahawks.
Wed Jan 14 201515:51Rodgers (calf) did not practice Wednesday
Rodgers (calf) did not practice Wednesday, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports.
Rodgers didn't practice last Wednesday either because of his left calf issue, but there's little doubt that he will be available for Sunday's NFC Championship game, with a return to practice in some capacity on Thursday likely on tap for the quarterback.
Tue Jan 13 201510:19Rodgers said calf feels improved from same time last week
Rodgers said his calf feels improved from the same time last week, ESPN.com reports.
The pain unsurprisingly increased in the immediate aftermath of Sunday's win over the Cowboys, but Rodgers said it felt much better on Monday than it had the previous Monday. While he'll likely be less than 100 percent for the remainder of Green Bay's postseason run, Rodgers is coming off a 316-yard, three-touchdown showing against Dallas. He'll face a much tougher defense in Seattle on Sunday.
