Packers Haven't Considered Resting Aaron Rodgers Amid Thumb Injury, Matt LaFleur Says

The Green Bay Packers haven't considered making a temporary quarterback change with Aaron Rodgers playing through a broken right thumb.

Head coach Matt LaFleur called Rodgers "one of the toughest guys I've ever been around" when explaining why he isn't planning on resting the 10-time Pro Bowler.

"So that never crossed my mind," he told reporters. "It’s more or less the conversation in terms of how he communicates with us, and where he’s at. Certainly, I know he told you guys, he’s played through a lot worse. He’s old-school tough."
