Last week I wrote about whether or not Love would see any more playing time for the Green Bay Packers. While explaining the situations where that was likely to happen, I mentioned that it could obviously happen if Aaron Rodgers sustained any further injuries. Sorry for the jinx.
All jokes aside, Aaron Rodgers is dealing with a rib injury alongside the broken thumb he sustained in a week 5 loss to the Giants, and it seems like it may be in his best interest if the team shuts him down for the remainder of the season. Building chemistry with the first year wide receivers may help Rodgers to lay the groundwork stellar year in 2023, but if he’s hurt badly enough it’s probably best not to leave anything up to chance with a nearly 39-year-old QB.
