Team news: New York Jets | Page 17

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers does not plan to have surgery on his toe at this time, per me and Tom Pelissero.

As the tweet pointed out, "at this time" is the key. If Rodgers were to get surgery, he'd certainly miss games, and probably cost the Packers a shot at the top seed in the NFL. They currently sit in second behind the Cardinals, but do own the tiebreaker thanks to a 24-21 win earlier this season. The hope for Rodgers is the toe will heal and improve over the bye week, the tweet went on to say.

Asked if Davis Mills will play again, David Culley said only if Tyrod Taylor suffers an injury. If healthy, Taylor will remain the starter.

It would seem to make sense for the team to see more of Mills, but the Texans look to be committed to Taylor, even after a home loss to a bad Jets team. Taylor has an 82.4 QBR with five TDs and four INTs in five starts. Meanwhile, last time we saw Mills was a 38-22 loss to the Rams. Mills threw for 310 yards and two scores in that game. For the season, Mills has an 80.2 QBR with seven TDs and eight INTs in six starts and seven games.

Packers RB Aaron Jones (knee) and WR Allen Lazard (shoulder) are questionable for Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams.

As great as having Jones in the backfield would be, his presence in the passing game would be the biggest boon for the Packers. Lazard has been a safe target, especially when looking to convert on third downs.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Adams was limited on Wednesday with the injury, but the return to a full practice on Thursday all but assures that he will be out there this Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. Adams could see a heavy dose of Jalen Ramsey on Sunday afternoon but is still our second-ranked wide receiver for Week 12.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers missed Thursday's practice with a toe injury.

Aaron Rodgers is likely to be held out of practices for the rest of the season with the toe injury, so fantasy managers should get used to DNP's or limited tags for the first two practice sessions of the week. Rodgers is expected to practice on Friday and play this weekend, so there is currently no reason to panic. If he misses practice tomorrow, however, it may be time to prepare a contingency option. Jordan Love will soak up ever valuable first-team reps for as long as the toe issue persists for Rodgers. Aa-Rod is currently our seventh-ranked quarterback for Week 12.

In an interview on the 'Pat McAfee Show' Tuesday, Aaron Rodgers admitted he had 'COVID Toe,' a "casual name for something medically known as pernio or chilblains, which is a condition that causes symptoms such as discoloration and lesions. It can be extremely painful and turn the toes purple," according to Andrew Beaton of the Wall Street Journal.

“The way I would think about it is it’s basically a side effect of how your own immune system is fighting the virus,” said Esther Freeman, a doctor and principal investigator for the Covid-19 Dermatology Registry. “It’s part of our body’s response to the response to the virus. It’s almost too much of a good thing.”

Rodgers also said he has no other lingering effects from COVID-19.

Later in the day, Rodgers claimed that he has a fractured toe according to multiple Packers beat reporters.

It will be interesting to see how long 'COVID toe' hangs around, but it could be detrimental to Rodgers' production.

Aaron Rodgers entered Sunday’s game with a toe injury. It was made worse when he had his foot stepped on in the first half.

The Packers quarterback revealed after the loss to the Vikings that his injury is “a little worse than turf toe” and “very, very painful.” He elaborated on that Tuesday when he had his regular appearance on The Pat McAfee Show.

Rodgers has a bone issue in his pinkie toe, the story said. Rodgers isn't the most mobile QB, but this certainly won't help. But the good news is Rodgers plans to keep playing through the injury, no matter how painful. The Packers have a bye in Week 13 which could help him for the stretch run.

Packers WR Allen Lazard (shoulder) is doubtful for Week 11's game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Lazard has been dependable despite a quiet passing attack from Green Bay. Look for Randall Cobb to take the intermediary passing work in Minnesota.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams logged a limited practice session on Thursday.

Davante is dealing with a shoulder injury but is expected to play this weekend after logging back-to-back limited practices to start the week. Minnesota is expected to be welcoming back Patrick Peterson after designating him to return earlier this week. Despite the looming return of the Vikings top cornerback, Adams remains an elite play and is our number one overall ranked wide receiver for Week 11.
