Packers getting healthier as they begin their playoff drive

Aaron Rodgers didn’t seem perturbed after Green Bay closed the regular season with a 37-30 loss at Detroit that snapped a five-game winning streak, but had no bearing on its playoff position.

The reigning league MVP instead was encouraged to be working behind an offensive line that’s getting closer to full strength after 2020 All-Pro left tackle David Bakhtiari and rookie center Josh Myers returned from knee injuries. Bakhtiari was making his season debut. Myers hadn’t played since Oct. 17.

“We talked about momentum, and that was important, but I really wanted to get out there with Dave and Josh,” Rodgers said.
