Packers Aaron Rodgers to serve as scout team QB

Dec 04, 2017

Aaron Rodgers, who was activated off injured reserve Saturday, will go through a "trial practice week" by primarily serving as the scout team quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, according to a team source.

Rodgers broke his right clavicle Oct. 15 and underwent a surgical repair.

The Packers (6-6) are still alive in the NFC playoff picture and play the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, with Brett Hundley making his seventh start since Rodgers was injured in Week 6.

Fantasy Impact:

Rodgers is eligible under the league's designated to return rules for the Packers' Dec. 17 game against the Panthers. He still would need medical clearance to formally return to play, but his scout team work this week will serve as the next step before a full return to practice next week the story said.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
