Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers told reporters on Wednesday that he’s been playing with a broken thumb since Week 5 when the team played the Giants in London.
Rodgers’s injury to his thumb was not well known, so his announcement on Wednesday caused some shock to fans. However, there has been recent speculation about whether or not the quarterback had a broken thumb. Pat McAfee asked Rodgers on his show on Tuesday, and Packers star did not explicitly answer.
But, it hasn’t stopped Rodgers from playing this season. He’s started in every game, and admitted that it hasn’t been as difficult as other injuries to play with the broken thumb.
