Aaron Rodgers removed from Packers' injury report, in line to start Sunday vs. Jets

GREEN BAY, Wis. – Aaron Rodgers' thumb isn't expected to affect the Green Bay Packers offense Sunday against the New York Jets, but he may be without one of his rookie receivers for some time.

Rodgers practiced Friday for the second straight day. Coach Matt LaFleur doesn't know if his quarterback's thumb will be taped Sunday, but he doesn't expect the injury to limit the Packers' passing-game menu.

"He threw the ball really well yesterday," LaFleur said. "So he's confident."

Rodgers was dropped from the injury report Friday, ensuring he'll start Sunday against the Jets.
