The bye week allowed Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers to heal up from injuries to both his thumb and ribs.
The 39-year-old said he’s feeling “a lot better” coming back from the bye and re-energized for the stretch run.
“The thumb is doing a lot better. It was nice to have that week off. The ribs are doing a lot better too. My body is feeling a lot better,” Rodgers told “The Pat McAfee Show” on Tuesday.
Rodgers broke his thumb in Week 5 in London against the New York Giants but played through the injury for eight straight games.
