Rodgers (calf) was held out of practice Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Rodgers sustained a lack of reps for the second consecutive day, which was more or less expected as he rehabilitates his right calf on a day in which the Packers were exposed to the elements at practice. Speaking of the weather, the thermometer may struggle to remain above zero degrees Fahrenheit in Chicago on Sunday, so conditioning and hydration will be of utmost importance for Rodgers to be as close to optimal capacity as possible. Even if he receives a questionable designation heading into the weekend, everyone of note in the organization expects him to be available against a Bears defense that has allowed just five touchdown passes to quarterbacks in six homes games this season.
