GREEN BAY, Wis. — Aaron Rodgers still has a right thumb injury, and now he has traded sore ribs for a banged-up left knee.<\/p>\n

The Green Bay Packers held their quarterback out of practice on Wednesday after a couple of Miami Dolphins defenders landed on Rodgers in the second quarter of Sunday’s game. Dolphins safety Eric Rowe sacked Rodgers, and then defensive tackle Christian Wilkins fell on top of him.<\/p>\n

“I got a lot of body weight on my knee,” Rodgers said Wednesday. “Had some extra flexion I haven’t known for the last 20 years. So just been doing rehab the last few days and feeling a lot better.”<\/p>\n

Rodgers said he expected to practice this week, possibly on Thursday, in advance of Sunday’s must-win game against the Minnesota Vikings. The Packers (7-8) would be eliminated from playoff contention if they lose combined with a win by either the Lions (over the Bears) or the Commanders (over the Browns). Even if they win their last two games, they’ll need help in the form of either one loss by the Commanders or two losses by the Giants to get in.<\/p>\n
