According to Packers coach Mike McCarthy, Rodgers' injured calf is doing better Monday than it was going into Sunday's victory over the Bears.
Rodgers engineered a heroic, game-winning drive Sunday despite not practicing all last week due to his calf problem. Besides obviously appearing less mobile, Rodgers was mostly his usual self despite the ailment, calming concerns of his fantasy owners. McCarthy's update on his calf Monday should provide further encouragement, especially since Rodgers has one less day to be ready for this weekend's game, which falls on Saturday versus the Vikings. While Rodgers' condition will continue to be evaluated over the course of this week, it wouldn't be surprising at all if he remains restricted in Green Bay's practice preparations to ensure he's not overextended ahead of another crucial contest.
