Following the Packers’ win over the Bears on Sunday night, Aaron Rodgers revealed that his toe injury felt worse than it did heading into Week 14.
“It feels worse,” Rodgers said on Sunday night. “I don’t know what kind of setback that I had tonight but we’ll look at it tomorrow. Definitely took a step back tonight.”
Even though Rodgers felt like he suffered a setback this past weekend, he doesn’t believe this injury will slow him down. He explained why during this Tuesday’s appearance on The Pat McAfee Show.
“Toe was definitely hurting after the game, but it is what it is,” Rodgers told McAfee. “It’s not going to be a problem I don’t think. It’s not going to stop me from playing. It’s just pain management but I’m going to keep playing and probably not practice a whole lot.”

Despite the injury, Rodgers played a flawless game against the Bears on Sunday night. Rodgers completed 29-of-37 pass attempts for 341 yards and four touchdowns.
If Rodgers can manage the pain while staying on the field, the Packers will have a chance to earn the top seed in the NFC.
Rodgers and the Packers will be back in action this Sunday against the Ravens.
