- Rodgers fractured his left (non-throwing) wrist in last week’s 34-12 win over the Bengals and practiced Friday in a brace on a limited basis.
- NFL Network reporters Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero report the injury is being managed without surgery and that Rodgers is expected to miss only this week with a potential Week 13 return.
