The Green Bay Packers are expected to use rest, not surgery, to help the quarterback's injured pinkie toe heal.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Rodgers is gathering other opinions, so we'll see where that goes, but a source said those opinions are not expected to lead to surgery during this week's bye.
The Packers will play the Bears in a Sunday night game on Dec. 12.
Rodgers said the most important thing was taking care of his toe.
Rodgers does not plan to have surgery, according to the NFL Network.
Rodgers fractured his toe on his foot during the COVID-19 outbreak, and he has played in the past three games with almost no on-field practice preparations.
He only took part in a few practices during that time, the most recent of which was two days before the Packers' loss at Minnesota. He did not need a pain-killing injection to play in the win over the Los Angeles Rams.
Rodgers said that the healing this week did not help him after he threw for 307 yards and two touchdown in Sunday's win over the Rams.
I tried to do some things on Friday and felt like we needed a bit of a boost and that kind of impacted Sunday a little bit. I did a walk-through on Saturday and all the walk-throughs during the week, but no practice time, I think helped. It helped to look at the scans. I felt better after the third quarter, but the pain was still there, and I got stepped on early in the game.
Rodgers ran for a 1-yard touchdown against the Rams on Sunday. In the past two games, Rodgers has thrown for over 700 yards and six touchdown.
He said after the game that he would make a decision about surgery on Monday.
Rodgers said that the toe felt good most of the time. Was talking with the doctors. We're going to do some more testing in the morning and get a better view of what's going on in there, and then make a decision at that time.
The decision would be left to Rodgers and the medical staff.
"I'm not involved in any of those decisions, so I just take any information and hear it," LaFleur said. I don't have 'M.D.' after my name. I will let them handle that.
