Just needs to take the first team reps for tomorrow and I think he gives er a go.

I think so as well. The key is lacy. Atlanta is a terrible defensive team especially against the run. Pounding lacy should be effective even against 8 man fronts. Plus we've seen him used effectively in the screen game the last few weeks. Get him going early and Flynn should be able to do things in the intermediate game against that defense.Sabertooth said:

Call me crazy, but I'd also leave open the option of playing Rodgers in the 2nd half if the game is close.

That would be awesome.... He comes in for 3 series, gets everyone their points and sits. Unfortunately it won't happen - Hoping to survive this week on McCown or Palmer and hopefully have Rodgers next week.

I agree it's pretty crazy. But the Packers have already shown they are quick to bring in the relief pitcher when things aren't going well this season. So there is that chance.

Mike Smith thinks he will play.
“We’re anticipating that he’s going to play this week,” Smith said of Rodgers. “I know there was some information that came out yesterday that said he wasn’t cleared, but he was not ruled out. We’re taking that (to mean) he’s playing. That’s what our preparation has got to be. He can distribute the ball. He makes everybody around him so much better. He understands Mike’s (Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy) offense. He gets him into the best plays. It’s fun to watch him as a coach, stand over the ball and look and try to dissect what you’re trying to do defensively. Then once that ball snaps, he’s got the ability to extend plays. He’s got such a quick release. He will be a big challenge for us on Sunday.”

He can injure it again, he is at risk, blah blah blah... got it.
But I ask this, why was he in pads?
It is looking like he won't play from all the beat writers, but they have been wrong before.
In this report he is acting like scans can't be scheduled. Typical media sensationalism.

My bet is they will schedule another Scan for Saturday morning.

This is a nice line from RW...
It's worth noting that it was Rapoport who reported the Pack had discussed shutting Rodgers down, a report shot down by the Packers and refuted by FOX's Jay Glazer.
I'm sure any hospital in or near Green Bay would gladly schedule a scan for even Sunday morning if there was a chance that Rodgers could play. Hell, they probably would even bring a mobile scanning machine to Lambeau Field if there was a chance he could play.

He had a scan Tuesday, bad news, and won't have another scan this week.
He's passed 2/3 requirements : strength and flexibility, but failed the healing
Since the only way to determine healing is through a scan, but he's not having another until next week, how is he going to pass the third requirement?
Just take that into consideration when forming your opinions/guesses
If you think he'll have a scan at the field or right before the game, McCarthy and Rodgers have said no more scan until next week

He is practicing with pads on????? The HELL you say. That is "tellng".
You know what else is telling? He won't be cleared to play until his bone is healed.
What part of "he can do everything football related except get hit, and wont be cleared to play till he is fully healed" is so hard to understand for some of you??
This is not an injury where you read the tea leaves. It's as clear cut black and white as possible for an injury. This might be the only injury in football that is 100% clear black and white.

literally as black and white as the x-rays. speculation about AR's return begins and ends there.

It's been enjoyable to read through this whole thread. Are any of your doctors that have access to the records or scans, or anything????? Speculation is just that..speculation. We all have an opinion, but none here has the facts..just what beatwriters report. As a Nelson/Lacy owner, I hope he's out there, because I need fantasy points. As a Packer shareholder, I hope he's out there for SuperBowl purposes.

I love it when people come back with this argument. It's like because someone may or may not have access to a players medical record that medical facts presented by that individual are wrong. You're right, no one has facts in how they relate to Rodgers specifically. However, many medical professionals can accurately comment on how these injuries typically heal, or give medical facts on the risks of injury if the fracture is not healed properly. If you don't like it, that's fine.No, can't say if I have access to his scans. That would be a HIPPA violation.
So are you suggesting that any health care professional cannot comment broadly on a topic of injury? Or perhaps correct those who have wrong information?
I suppose FBG employing their own doctor to comment on injuries is a complete waste because she doesn't have access to the patient?
Or when the local news interviewed Orthopedic surgeon W. Pennington, MD to comment on clavicular fractures and how long they typically take to heal, that was a waste of a news segment because he didn't have access to scans?
Yes, we can all form opinions. I guess it's up to the individual if they want to form that opinion based on medical fact or if they want to base it on their own hunches or own personal understanding of injuries or just by asking themselves WWBFD (what would Brett Favre do)
I hope he plays, but he hasn't passed all the criteria for playing. Rodgers and McCarthy have said no more scans until next week. So unless God appears to McCarthy to tell him Rodgers is healed, I'm not sure how Rodgers could pass that last criteria. Maybe he will play. I doubt it, but that's just my opinion, based on medical facts.
Shutout

Would like to see him sit one more week and the Packers win this week and then he go after that. Obviously the Packers can't wait too long because they are running out of time but with all the top seeds playing each other this weekend in the NFC, they are still hanging in there.
I would like to see him wait one more week though just because know its either healed or not but just to give him a weeks to get back in the flow of things. A good week of preparation without the collar bone distraction and then if the packers lose this weekend, there is no rush. All fantasy stuff and needs aside, he is the franchise there. He is the difference between the Packers have legitimate hopes of playoffs every week or having Thanksgiving day nightmares for years. I would take the patient route.

While it's a more than fair point that IF the Pack wanted to get another scan it would hardly be an issue. I'd have to assume that when they saw the scan earlier this week it was apparent that a few days would not yield enough additional healing to warrant checking until next week.
2% chance or less this week. Maybe 50/50 for next by my utter guess.

Yeah, I'm in the group already bounced. I'm still watching this news like an amputee that swears he still feels his limb.

This really makes me question why they didnt IR him from the get go then, if it was a have to be healed completely thing.

Honestly, from the getgo, I was never very confident he'd come back at all. As soon as I heard Dr Jene talk about Rodgers injury and the suggested timetable for return, not only the content, but you could hear the doubt in his voice on the podcasts. Well that was enough for me to not count on him anyway. I hung on hopeful that I could survive to the fantasy playoffs with a 2 game cushion, but didn't last that long. Oh well. I still am hoping he can comeback for the sake of his owners, but at this point, it's hoping against hope.
MattFancy
Footballguy
I think he's probably 65-35 to play next week. It's been 5 weeks since the injury and the time table was 4-6 weeks. He's been practicing, just waiting for the doctors to clear him. I think he's close, but there's still a chance he doesn't play next week.What do people think the odds he is back next week are?Yeah, I'm in the group already bounced.

It's odd that he would even bother practicing in pads if the intent is to shut him down. Maybe I'm naive, but it genuinely sounds like he is close and I wouldn't be surprised if he's back next week. 
We've all made contingency plans by now though.

That's my thought on it as well. If they were going to shut him down, why even have him practice and why have him go back for scans this week? I believe he's close.It's odd that he would even bother practicing in pads if the intent is to shut him down.

I tend to agree. Sometimes we in FF overeact and feel like once an NFL team is out of it (or barely out of it) they just give up. But history shows that's rarely the case unless its a terrible team looking at young talent. If/when he is healthy enough to play, he will play imo and as you note, why trot him out in PADS when you are ramping up for a shutdown?It's odd that he would even bother practicing in pads if the intent is to shut him down. Maybe I'm naive, but it genuinely sounds like he is close and I wouldn't be surprised if he's back next week.
Still a question mark for next week, but you'd have to think they are hoping it goes the right way and the healing gets over whatever hump needed.

He wants to play, so he is going to keep preparing. He said it's his team, and he wants to be out there.It's odd that he would even bother practicing in pads if the intent is to shut him down.
