Head coach Mike McCarthy relayed that Rodgers (calf) may miss Thursday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. "It'll be about pain management on Sunday, but the good thing is I'll be out there," Rodgers said. "I'll be out there and ready."
Neither McCarthy nor Rodgers is worried about Rodgers being under center Sunday at Chicago, with the former noting his experience in frigid conditions during nearly nine years at the helm for the Packers. Notably, his right calf will likely impact his mobility to an extent, but he at least avoided a serious concern, like the one that made him a stationary object in the pocket late in the 2014 season. If he focuses on rehab rather than practice Thursday, his next opportunity to fit in some work on the field arrives during a brief session Saturday, as the Packers don't hold a formal practice Friday.
