Rodgers (collarbone) announced Tuesday via his personal Instagram account that he has been medically cleared to play.

It sounds like Rodgers, who has been practicing since Dec. 2, will take reps with the first-team offense throughout the week in preparation for his return to the starting lineup Sunday against the Panthers. Assuming Rodgers incurs no setbacks with his throwing shoulder during practice, look for the Packers to formally activate him from injured reserve within the next few days. Brett Hundley, who went 3-4 as the starting quarterback while Rodgers was sidelined, will return to his normal backup role.
