Rodgers remains upbeat amid thumb injury, Packers’ slump

Associated Press  

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers insists he’s still having fun even as he plays through a thumb injury while trying to lead a slumping offense on a.500 team. He threw 20 touchdown passes without any interceptions through the Packers’ final seven regular-season games last season while fighting through a fractured pinky toe that severely limited his practice time. Sammy Watkins returned to practice Wednesday after missing four games with a hamstring injury, but LaFleur noted that “I don’t think anybody’s ready to say that he’ll be playing this week.” Rodgers also is working behind a line that hasn’t come close to matching its 2020 and 2021 form. “I go to bed at night dreaming about what plays I can make up to Matt off.” NOTES: G Jake Hanson also didn’t practice Wednesday after leaving the Jets game with a biceps injury..
