head coach Joe Philbin refused to commit to playing his team’s best player in week 16 JK Scott Jersey , said player put speculation to rest. On Wednesday, quarterback Aaron Rodgers put any speculation to rest, making it clear to the media that he will suit up against the New York Jets on Sunday.In fact, Rodgers appears to be facing these final two weeks as a point of pride as well as taking it as an opportunity to lead by example in the locker room:Interestingly, these will be the first games Rodgers has played with the Packers out of playoff contention since his first season as a starter in 2008. Green Bay made the postseason every year from 2009 to 2016, then Rodgers was placed on injured reserve after the Packers were eliminated by the Carolina Panthers in week 15 last season.Rodgers was also asked about the ability to get more snaps with the Packers’ young receivers, and acknowledged that “there’s definitely some value there.” Considering that a lack of chemistry with newcomers like Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Equanimeous St. Brown Brett Favre Color Rush Jersey , J’Mon Moore, and Jake Kumerow have seemingly been a major part of Rodgers’ struggles this year, it does make some sense to allow him to get competitive repetitions with those players in the final two weeks.The arguments against Rodgers playing largely come down to his health. He has dealt with a knee injury since week one, and he appeared to tweak his groin during Sunday’s loss in Chicago as well. Two more games means another 120 snaps or so, each of which has the opportunity to result in an even more serious injury.In addition, Rodgers will likely be playing out the string in an offense that is quite different to what he will be running in 2019. Joe Philbin does not seem to be a legitimate candidate for the permanent head coaching job, meaning that a newcomer will likely institute a fairly different offensive scheme. In that context, perhaps the chemistry argument falls apart a bit https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Paul-Hornung-Jersey , since the players will all need to learn an entirely new playbook.Regardless, it seems that despite sportsbooks moving the point spread from Packers -3 to Packers +1 early this week, Rodgers will still be in uniform and under center on Sunday.

Vasquez-USA TODAY SportsThe Green Bay Packers finished up their first week of OTAs on Thursday with a closed practice, and apparently the team was released for the weekend in time for a quick drive down Interstate 43 to Milwaukee. That much became readily evident on Thursday evening, when left tackle David Bakhtiari and quarterback Aaron Rodgers showed up at Fiserv Forum to cheer on the Milwaukee Bucks in game five of the NBA’s Eastern Conference Finals. What happened during a timeout early in the first quarter was inevitable. In the first two playoff series, Bakhtiari hyped up the crowd by chugging beer, first a single one in the first round against the Detroit Pistons and then two straight against the Boston Celtics in the second.This time Bart Starr Jersey , he got Rodgers into the act. After downing two beers quickly, Bakhtiari pointed over to Rodgers, who got his turn (though he put his down in a much more controlled manner). Rodgers then returned the attention back to Bakhtiari, who put down a third beverage in short order.The Bucks’ social media team quickly got the video up on Twitter for us all to enjoy:Bonus points go to the arena staff at Fiserv Forum for the chyron describing Rodgers as “Game of Thrones extra.” And there’s really nothing that screams “Wisconsin” more than seeing two of the greatest athletes in the state chugging beer, right?The Bucks and Raptors enter this game tied at two apiece in the series, so the winner of Thursday’s game will have a chance to close it out in Toronto this weekend.Be sure to check out Brew Hoop for all things Bucks-related.
