Medical clearance won’t be an option until next week
Mike McCarthy stressed that Aaron Rodgers has not been medical cleared for a full return and won’t be this week. “That’s why we call it trial return because he’s not cut loose for a full practice,” McCarthy said. “The medical clearance will be (an option) until next week.” (ESPN – Rob Demovsky)
Nerdy Football Analysis: Rodgers can’t return until Week 15 anyway, so it doesn’t make much difference whether he gains clearance this week or next. Given the fact he is throwing the ball without incident now makes it likely he will be cleared, so owners hoping for his Week 15 return have to hope Green Bay can beat winless Cleveland next week so the Packers will be that much more willing to bring him back. He’ll obviously be a top-three play if he returns.
