Aaron Rodgers Returns To Thursday's Practice
2 years agoGreen Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee, thumb) returned to practice on Thursday after getting a regular maintenance day off on Wednesday. Rodgers has been dealing with a minor knee issue in recent weeks, but he will absolutely be on the field this Sunday night in a divisional showdown against the Detroit Lions to close out the regular season. With a win, the Packers will earn the final spot in the NFC playoffs. The 39-year-old Rodgers hasn't had high-end QB1 upside for fantasy managers this year and hasn't thrown multiple touchdown passes since Week 12, but he'll have an opportunity to produce some nice numbers against a shaky Lions defense this weekend. In Week 9 against Detroit, Rodgers went 23-for-43 for 291 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in a loss.
