Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has dominated Detroit, completing 70 percent of his attempts for 1,523 yards, 14 touchdowns and three interceptions. His passer rating against the Lions is 105.3. With DE Kyle Vanden Bosch out, with a new, untested starter at cornerback in Brandon McDonald and a rookie strong safety in Amari Spievey, Rodgers should have another big day. Green Bay plans to rotate rookie running backs James Starks and Dimitri Nance, hoping to give each player 12 carries. Starks had 73 yards on 18 carries last week.

Despite the cold weather, Green Bay is going nowhere with its running game and figures to come out with a spread offense and Aaron Rodgers throwing. It makes sense to throw, too, because the 49ers rank sixth in the league against the run, allowing an average of 98.3 yards per game — or about what the Packers rush per game. The Packers will be challenged on third down, which was a sore spot in their loss last week to the Falcons. The 49ers limit opponents to a 35 percent conversion rate on third down (seventh-best in the NFL).

With WR Donald Driver out, Packers QB Aaron Rodgers needs Jordy Nelson or James Jones to step up big in this game. The Cowboys are struggling in the secondary where CB Mike Jenkins and safety Alan Ball are having very poor seasons.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (ankle probable) took full reps Friday and is expected to start Sunday in a great matchup with a defeated Cowboys team.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (ankle) took full practice reps Thursday. Rogers is expected to be a full go this weekend barring setback.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (ankle) took full practice reps Wednesday. Rodgers is our #1 QB this week against a Cowboys team that just got lit up by David Garrard and Mike Sims-Walker.

Mike McCarthy on Packers injuries:

Patrick Lee had an ankle and did not return, the x-rays were negative. Donald Driver, it’s the same quad, he dropped out in the second quarter. Aaron Rodgers had an ankle sprain and he did return.

Jets Darrelle Revis won't be shadowing Packers WR Greg Jennings. When Jennings & Donald Driver line up on same side, Revis & Cromatie will be on that side.

Cromartie has been every bit as good as Revis this year. Aaron Rodgers is one of a few QBs in the NFL who has what it takes to beat the Jets secondary, but there is a bit of wind in the forecast. Look for another surprise game out of Greg Jennings if Cromartie and Revis do in fact line up on Jennings and Driver.

Despite suffering a concussion on an interception last Sunday, QB Aaron Rodgers is expected to start. He’s won six straight at Lambeau Field. Rodgers has lost game-changing TE Jermichael Finley for the season, and the Packers’ running game has been spotty. The defense should be minus OLB Clay Matthews, who has 8.5 sacks. The Packers had 15 players on the injury report last week.

The NFL has fined Washington Redskins defensive end Jeremy Jarmon $5,000 for a helmet to helmet hit on Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers in last Sunday's game.

Jarmon rushed the quarterback in overtime on the Packers' final offensive play. Jarmon got his hands up and Rodgers had to rush his throw, which was eventually intercepted by LaRon Landry. Jarmon was not flagged on the play, but a review showed that as Jarmon came down, his helmet made contact with Rodgers' and the league office felt a fine was in order.

Rodgers suffered a mild concussion on the play.

There was originally some fears that the concussion would keep Rodgers out of action this week, but he appears good to go and should fare well against Miami.
