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

Rodgers has now missed back-to-back practices with the toe injury he apparently suffered while under quarantine. He is expected to play this weekend, so as long as he takes the practice field, tomorrow fantasy managers will be able to rest easy. Rodgers is our sixth-ranked quarterback for Week 11.

When the Packers activated quarterback Aaron Rodgers from the COVID-19 reserve list on Saturday, they also added him to their injury report for Sunday’s game against the Seahawks.

A toe injury was given as the reason for Rodgers’ addition, but he was not given an injury designation and played the whole way in Green Bay’s 17-0 win.

Rodgers declined to say how he hurt his toe while he was away from the team last week but said it wasn’t an issue for him on Sunday and he doesn’t expect it to be one in the future either.

The Seahawks had never been shut out with Russell Wilson at quarterback until Sunday night, when Aaron Rodgers and the Packers claimed an ugly 17-0 victory to spoil Wilson's anticipated return from injured reserve. Most discouraging of all might've been Wilson's own performance -- an out-of-sync clunker that saw the Pro Bowler complete just 50 percent of his passes and throw a pair of untimely interceptions. But Wilson told reporters afterward that his finger, surgically repaired during his three-game stint on IR, was not to blame.

"My finger felt fine," he said. "The problem with tonight was I had two bad plays, you know?"

Seems like Wilson escaped Week 10 with no more damage to his finger after a stint on IR. It wasn't the type of fantasy performance Wilson's owners were expecting against the Packers, however. Things won't get easier for Wilson as they take on the Cardinals in Week 11.

Rodgers returned to team facilities today and as expected will start for the Green Bay Packers in their matchup against the Seattle Seahawks

This is a boost for all Packers players in a game with a 49.5 total favoring Green Bay by 3-points.

During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday, Aaron Rodgers said that he’s feeling well after experiencing some symptoms of COVID-19 after his positive test last week. He said he’s excited to get back to work with the team, but acknowledged that there’s a “small possibility” that he won’t be in the lineup against the Seahawks.

Rodgers said he has to go through some testing upon his return to the team to ensure that his heart responds well to a return to “physical exertion.” He said he will be doing workouts on his own this week in advance of the Saturday return to the Packers’ facility.

Rodgers can return to the team on Saturday after completing a 10-day quarantine period and head coach Matt LaFleur said Rodgers will “absolutely” start if he’s available to play.

While meeting with reporters Friday, Packers WR Davante Adams said he will play Week 9 at Kansas City after missing Week 8 due to COVID-19 protocols.

Hearing it from the source is about as trustworthy as it gets, unless it's Aaron Rodgers talking about COVID-19 treatment.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams has cleared COVID protocols and returned to practice on Thursday.

Adams has cleared protocol but will be without Aaron Rodgers for Week 9. Adams sees his fantasy upside take a hit with Love at quarterback but remains an elite talent who can get open at will. Green Bay may shift to a more run-heavy gameplan with Love making his first career start, but Adams remains a top-five option in what could turn into a shootout against the Kansas City Chiefs. Adams is our 4th ranked wide receiver for Week 9.

Houston Texans quarterback Tyrod Taylor will start against the Miami Dolphins in Week 9.

Taylor has been sidelined since Week 2 with a hamstring injury. Finally ready to bring some respectability back to Houston's offense, Taylor boosts the fantasy upsides of the entire Texans skill corps. Taylor is currently our 19th ranked quarterback for Week 9.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers will miss Week 9 at the Kansas City Chiefs because of COVID-19. Jordan Love is expected to start in his place.

Massive loss for the Packers but Jordan Love has the opportunity to flex his offensive muscles against a putrid Chiefs defense.

HC David Culley says Tyrod Taylor and Pharaoh Brown's status vs. Miami is "day-to-day."

Culley says that Taylor, who has been designated for return off IR, did take some first-team reps last week. Taylor appears to be close to a possible return and the team has said he'll get the job back when healthy. That remains to be seen. Mills threw for over 300 yards and two TDs trying to play catch-up in a loss to the Rams this past week.
