Aaron Rodgers practices Saturday, still questionable
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers took a positive step toward playing Sunday as he got through a full practice on Saturday.
Rodgers remains questionable, as it remains to be seen how his sprained knee will respond to his first day of practice all week.
#Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (knee) practiced today, but he's still questionable for Sunday's game vs. #Vikings. They need to see how the knee responds in the morning.

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported that Rodgers is still coping with some soreness and swelling in the knee he hurt Sunday night against the Chicago Bears.
Obviously, this is a step in the right direction for Rodgers. He has progressed throughout the week. But continuing to deal with swelling and soreness in the knee. Coach Mike McCarthy said at the start they'd give him the whole week and that's how it's playing out.

At this point, the signs are good, though Rodgers looks like a game-time decision. By all accounts, he has improved throughout the week. It’s simply a question of whether he’s improved enough to get through Sunday’s game.
