Clay Matthews says Aaron Rodgers looks so good in his rehab that he wondered: 'We probably should have kept him off IR' https://t.co/BuszMaILuG

Announced this morning that pending playoff implications, plan is for Aaron Rodgers to return @Carolina, which I translate to "Win these next two games boys."
It's all coming together for the @packers O. Who knows if they qualify for playoffs this year, but @AaronRodgers12 is now going to have a 2 headed monster backfield similar to what Brees has with Ingram and Kamara. Defensive nightmare.

Itâs so this. You canât possibly deal with Aaron Rodgers if he has two backs like Jones and Williams.
But you can still deal with the Packer defense.

If you're giving up 800 yards but only 18 pts in regulation you're doing pretty well.

Been on a scouting trip since August, is Aaron Rodgers having a good season?

You forgot to add âto a crappy offenseâ in between the words âyardsâ and âbutâ
Adams on Sirius does not deny or confirm scan has occurred or any outcome if it had.
The world awaits.............
White smoke or black smoke.....
Putin already has bone scan results.
It's ain't news until Damarious Randall tweets about it.

McCarthy talks at ~3:45 this afternoon. His response to the inevitable question on Rodgers/scan:
a - I haven't met with the medical staff yet today, I won't have anything until later in the week.
b - The medical staff is still evaluating the results, I won't have anything until later in the week.
c - I never talk about the specifics of a players injury, this is something you'll need to ask Aaron.
d - Brett Hundley is my starter, I have total confidence in the QB room. I won't have anything until later in the week.
David Newton ESPN Staff Writer
Panthers coach Ron Rivera said he expects to face Aaron Rodgers this week.
Any coach not preparing for that eventuality shouldn't be a coach.
E-we had a good week of practice
He figures they only need about 10-15 minutes to prepare for Hundley.

When you only have to cover 10 yards past the line of scrimmage it does make it easier to plan your pass defense.
Although they didn't use zone read runs yesterday, it's something you'd think would work well at least a few times a game. The problem with that is that the Panthers probably don't have to spend much time preparing for that because their defense ahs seen it for years in practice against Cam Newton.
You have to prepare for first drive Hundley, 4th quarter Hundley and OT Hundley. The Hundley in between that is a total crapshoot.
Never mind the shoot.....

With the caveat - this is in the hands of the experts.
Also said, "if he doesn't know tomorrow what Rodgers' status is, he's putting Pat McKenzie on IR."
So he is relying on X4?
FWIW, MM was in a pretty good mood during that presser. Cracking some jokes and a few smiles.
I sense something besides that Browns win put him in that mood...
Considering this...

Well, hard to argue with that. The fans' grades were pretty darn low, too.
And yet they won, which is all that matters.
Now back to clavicle watch.
Part Deux.

Per Ian Rap:
A day after Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers underwent the all-important first CT scan to determine how his fractured collarbone is healing, there is still no word on his status. Coach Mike McCarthy called it a medical decision on Monday and said the team is conferring with several experts. "I do not have a clean decision for you," he added.
After speaking with several sources informed of this situation, Rodgers' clearance is far more complex than simply saying, "the bone has healed." There are reasons why answers haven't come.
Rodgers, eligible to be activated this week after seriously impressing at practice for two weeks, is pushing very hard to play. Wednesday will mark a key moment for Rodgers as the team starts its practice prep for Sunday's game against the Panthers, and Green Bay hopes to have a call by then. Rodgers has targeted Week 15 as the date of his return and is fighting to be on the field. It's not that simple.
The Packers and other voices with whom they are consulting are being far more cautious. While everyone wants Rodgers to play, their thinking is more long-term. He is the franchise, he'll be their QB for years to come, and there is still a steep uphill climb to the playoffs -- though a recent win streak did help.
As Packers doctor Pat McKenzie and other experts evaluate the scan, the decision was described as a "risk/reward" decision. The bone isn't fully healed -- and there was no chance it was going to be after two months. That was the expectation. Typically, 80-percent healed is healthy enough to be on the field. And Rodgers chose a surgical procedure involving two plates and 13 screws as an aggressive way of accelerating healing and protecting his throwing shoulder. It was a success.
And yet there are still loud and protective voices who wonder if it's worth putting him on the field to potentially injure himself again for a small chance at a great reward. Those voices are weighing in with caution because putting him at risk might not be worth it.
The Packers, who are notoriously conservative when it comes to keeping their players out of harm's way, will be deliberate. In addition, if Rodgers isn't cleared this week, it doesn't mean he won't be cleared next week or the week after if the team somehow keeps winning. The fact that Brett Hundley continues to impress has actually led to a tougher call because the team is still alive.
When a decision is reached, the hope is that it's a consensus among Rodgers, the doctors, and team brass. At this point, though, it's difficult to predict which way it will go.
