Aaron Rodgers adds ribs injury to broken thumb
Aaron Rodgers did his best to play hurt against the Philadelphia Eagles on “Sunday Night Football” in Week 12.
Rodgers entered the game with a broken thumb, which is an injury he suffered on the last play in Week 5. During the game, the veteran quarterback suffered an injury to his ribs.
Rodgers struggled his way through a possession in the third quarter with his Green Bay Packers down 34-20. Rodgers could barely move in the pocket during the drive. He headed to the locker room after Mason Crosby kicked a field goal to make it 34-23.
The Packers officially said Rodgers was questionable to return with an oblique issue.
