The veteran quarterback has been dealing with a thumb injury since Week 5 and a rib injury since Week 12. Despite the injuries, Rodgers has continued to start for the Packers, who have lost three of their last five.
Rodgers told Pat McAfee on Tuesday’s episode of The Pat McAfee Show that the Week 14 bye was helpful in terms of resting his thumb and body in general.
“The thumb is doing a lot better,” Rodgers said. “It was nice to have that week off. The ribs are doing better too, I was able to finally start getting some sleep.
