The injury to packers<\/span> quarterback Aaron Rodgers<\/span>‘s thumb apparently is more serious than it appears. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that the injury is an avulsion fracture, something that often requires immediate surgery to repair.<\/p>\n

Rodgers told the media on Wednesday that he has been dealing with a broken thumb since Green Bay’s Week 5 game against the Giants in London, but he didn’t mention the severity. Instead of getting surgery, Rodgers has decided to play through the injury.<\/p>\n

The nature of the injury can make it difficult for a quarterback to grip the ball properly, but Rodgers insists he is healthy enough to play.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I’ve had worse injuries that I’ve played with,\u201d Rodgers said last week. \u201cDefinitely a challenge but days off helped feel better as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
