Packers HC Matt LeFleur told reporters Friday that QB Aaron Rodgers will start Week 18 and will see how the game plays out. “I don’t think he needs to play. I think he wants to play and keep the momentum going.”

Rodgers starting takes he and Love out of consideration for season-long and DFS lineups.

Packers RB Aaron Jones (knee) and WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (back) were limited during Wednesday's practice. QB Aaron Rodgers (toe) did not practice.

Rodgers will continue to rest as needed. Jones should play and will also rest as much as needed. MVS is a new injury and should be closely monitored.

From his Tuesday comments on the Pat McAfee Show, it still doesn’t sound like Rodgers is going to get surgery on the toe.

“Toe was definitely hurting after the game, but it is what it is,” Rodgers said, via Rob Demovsky of ESPN. “It’s not going to be a problem I don’t think. It’s not going to stop me from playing. It’s just pain management but I’m going to keep playing and probably not practice a whole lot.”

Rodgers said the status of his toe took a step back after the team's win over the Bears in Week 14. It looks like Rodgers won't get surgery during the season to fix the toe. At this point, Rodgers doesn't want to miss any time with Green Bay now in the top spot in the NFC.

From NFL Now: While surgery remains an option for Packers QB Aaron Rodgers, the current plan is more rest and rehab after last night's toe setback.

As it was reported earlier today, Rodgers had a setback and said he was in more pain after Week 14's win over the Bears. It sounds like surgery is a last resort for Rodgers, though, and according to Rapoport, no surgery is scheduled at this time.

All the healing done by Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers during the bye week might have been erased on Sunday night against the Chicago Bears.

Rodgers, who threw four touchdown passes, said he believes he suffered a setback with his fractured left pinky toe during the Packers’ 45-30 win.

Asked if the toe felt better coming out of the bye and after Sunday night’s game, Rodgers replied, “No, it feels worse.”

“I don’t know what kind of setback that I had tonight but we’ll look at it tomorrow. But definitely took a step back tonight,” Rodgers said.

We could hear more later today about just how much of a setback Rodgers suffered. Rodgers opted not to have surgery over the bye week but said that option still wasn't off the table as recently as last week. The belief is, Rodgers could have the surgery and not miss any time, which was a big requirement if he opted to go under the knife.

Aaron Rodgers received a second opinion on his fractured toe during the Green Bay Packers' recent bye weekend. Rodgers' second option confirmed his decision to not have in-season surgery on his toe. Green Bay hoped the team's Week 13 bye would give Rodgers' toe more time to heal before the team's stretch run.

"There was no mindset change," Rodgers said Tuesday on the "Pat McAfee Show", via ESPN's Rob Demovsky.

Rodgers was quoted as saying the key is rest and he could probably use another bye week. However, he says it's improving and he's expected to play against the Bears in Week 14.

The Green Bay Packers have placed QB Jordan Love on the reserve/COVID-19 list. General Manager Brian Gutekunst announced the transaction Monday.

Per agreed-upon NFL-NFLPA policy, clubs are not permitted to comment on a player's medical status other than referring to roster status. Being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list is for a player who either tests positive for COVID-19 or who has been in close contact with an infected person or persons. Reports have said Love is vaccinated, however, and he feels confident he can return for Week 14 with two negative tests in 24 hours.

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is still contemplating whether or not to get surgery to repair his fractured toe.

Rodgers was quoted as saying "... the surgery would be such a minor one it wouldn’t be something that I’d have to miss time with. That’s a prerequisite for any surgery that I have at this point — I’m not going to miss any time. So we’ll re-assess early next week and make a decision. But it’s not something where [I’d miss time]. I could have surgery on a Monday or Tuesday and play on Sunday.” That would certainly be good news for fantasy owners and the team as they make a push for the top spot in the NFC. Rodgers said he was feeling better compared to last week but it sounds like surgery is still an option as long as he doesn't miss time.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers does not plan to have surgery on his toe at this time, per me and Tom Pelissero.

As the tweet pointed out, "at this time" is the key. If Rodgers were to get surgery, he'd certainly miss games, and probably cost the Packers a shot at the top seed in the NFL. They currently sit in second behind the Cardinals, but do own the tiebreaker thanks to a 24-21 win earlier this season. The hope for Rodgers is the toe will heal and improve over the bye week, the tweet went on to say.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers missed Thursday's practice with a toe injury.

Aaron Rodgers is likely to be held out of practices for the rest of the season with the toe injury, so fantasy managers should get used to DNP's or limited tags for the first two practice sessions of the week. Rodgers is expected to practice on Friday and play this weekend, so there is currently no reason to panic. If he misses practice tomorrow, however, it may be time to prepare a contingency option. Jordan Love will soak up ever valuable first-team reps for as long as the toe issue persists for Rodgers. Aa-Rod is currently our seventh-ranked quarterback for Week 12.
