Quote:Of course Aaron Rodgers wants to play Thursday. Every injured player can't wait to get back to work. But I think he understands the risk of returning too soon because it cannot be wrapped. He probably is overly optimistic because it is his left collarbone.

 

The Lions are crazy. Even when they do prepare for Rodgers, he kills them. When Matt Flynn started because the Packers were locked into their playoff seed, that game was against the Lions and he threw 6 touchdown passes. The reason I am worried about this game is Flynn is on his third team in 2013 and was the backup yesterday.

 

Believe me,  Aaron Rodgers would be that much more lethal against the Lions or any other team that isn't prepared to play against him.   

 

As well as Matt Flynn performed against an injury depleted Lions Secondary in the 2011 regular season finale,   the other time the Lions faced Flynn after Rodgers was hurt in the 2nd QTR,   the Lions held the Packers to a FG in a 7-3 win.   That was in December, 2010.

 

The following is today's injury report for both teams.   Tomorrow's practice will be a much better indicator of the injury situation for both teams:
