Two-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers could return to the field as early as Saturday, head coach Mike McCarthy said.
"He’s got a workout today, and we'll obviously evaluate him," McCarthy said on Friday. "We’re looking tomorrow to potentially practice him in a trial return. That’s the outlook. We’ll determine that tomorrow after his work today."
Rodgers was placed on injured reserve on Oct. 20 following his collarbone surgery and is eligible to return to practice on Saturday, based on the NFL's IR rules. While he is not eligible to play in a game until Week 15 at Carolina, getting Rodgers back to practice would likely boost the morale of a team that has gone just 1-5 since his injury.
