Rodgers injury update
NFL Media's Tom Pelissero reports that Rodgers has been eager to get back on the field and could potentially play through the injury. However, the team is weighing that against the risk of further aggravating or damaging his left wrist. There is also the possibility that any added damage could push Rodgers toward needing surgery.
The quarterback initially hurt his left wrist during the Week 11 game against the Cincinnati Bengals, forcing him to sit out the entire second half while Rudolph stepped in to finish the matchup.
