Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is expected to have a "big voice" in deciding whether he will be shut down if the team is eliminated from playoff contention.
Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported no formal decisions have been made regarding Rodgers' status, beyond the fact he will start Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears.
This has been a rough season for Rodgers and the Packers. They were expected to compete for a Super Bowl after winning 13 games in each of the previous three years. Instead, they are off to a 4-8 start and unlikely to make the postseason in the NFC.
