Packers News: Aaron Rodgers listed as probable for Sunday's Lions game

The NFC North is on the line in Sunday's battle between the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions, and all signs point to Aaron Rodgers being good to go for the teams' massive showdown at Lambeau Field.

Rodgers is listed as probable for Sunday's contest after hurting his left calf in the first quarter of the Packers' 20-3 road win over the Tampa Bay Bucs last Sunday. He remained in the game.

Per the Detroit Free Press, Green Bay (11-4) didn't practice Friday after taking the previous day off for Christmas. But the team estimates Rodgers would have been a limited participant on the field Friday.

He is expected to practice Saturday, when Green Bay runs its final practice of the week.

"Really tomorrow will be a big indicator, just to watch him move around and do the different things," head coach Mike McCarthy said. "And then we'll communicate during the game. But I don't have a very high concern right now."
