Packers' Aaron Rodgers: Cleared from injury report
Rodgers (toe) returned to practice Friday as a limited participant and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com notes that Rodgers' practice participation is a sign of progress, following back-to-back weeks with nothing but absences. The veteran quarterback seems to have avoided further aggravations of his toe injury since Week 14, and he's the frontrunner for NFL MVP after tossing 16 touchdowns (and zero interceptions) over the past five games. Four of those were Green Bay wins, with the exception being Week 11 at Minnesota when Rodgers' 385 passing yards and four touchdowns weren't quite enough to get the job done. A similar stat line Sunday night should do the trick, however, with the Packers playing at home against Sean Mannion, who is filling in for regular starting quarterback Kirk Cousins (reserve/COVID-19 list).
