Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (feet) missed practice again Thursday. He is expected to practice Friday and be good for Sunday's game against the Bucs.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers isn't on the field for practice today as he continues to nurse his sore feet, and it appears WR Donald Driver also remains sidelined because of a neck injury.

Rodgers wasn't expected to practice until Friday -- backup Matt Flynn is running the starting offense in his absence -- and he'll start on Sunday at Tampa Bay.

Driver's situation is at least a little more concerning because he so rarely misses practice, but there's been no indication yet his availability could be in doubt. He sustained a stinger in Sunday's loss to Minnesota, and although he returned to the game, he didn't practice on Wednesday. He was on the field today and seemed to be in good spirits but wasn't wearing pads during the portion open to reporters.

McCarthy was confident Rodgers would be ready for Tampa Bay on Sunday, but he said the medical staff wants Rodgers to back off in practice this week to make sure the injuries don't get worse. The injured toe is on his left foot, and the sprain is on his right foot.

"I don't think it's going to change the way he plays," McCarthy said. "Just visiting with Dr. (Pat) McKenzie, I think they're injuries that just need to settle down a little bit. Wednesday and Thursday, he'll probably do very little, and we'll shoot for Friday, is kind of our general plan as we move out of today's rehab."

Rodgers was limping after the game but said he expected to be OK after a few days.
