Rodgers remains on track to start Sunday's game against the Vikings, but he'll do so while playing through a painful toe injury that he'll likely contend with for the remainder of the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Rodgers appeared to pick up the injury in last week's 17-0 win over the Seahawks after he had sat out the Packers' previous contest Week 9 against the Chiefs while he was on the reserve/COVID-19 list. The Packers withheld Rodgers from practices Wednesday and Thursday to give him a chance to heal up from the injury, and while he returned to the field Friday as a limited participant, he took only about 15 reps, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Green Bay is hopeful that its upcoming Week 13 bye will allow Rodgers to regain some health, but in the meantime, the team isn't expected to dramatically alter its game plans for the next two contests while the star signal-caller is at less than 100 percent. As is the case with most aging quarterbacks, Rodgers had already scaled back his involvement as a runner before the toe injury surfaced. He's averaging a career-low 2.8 yards per carry and has logged only 20 carries through nine outings.
