According to Packers beat writer Greg Bedard, Aaron Rodgers was "limping severely" after Sunday's loss to Minnesota.

Rodgers did more scrambling than usual Sunday, rushing for 52 yards on five carries, and may have aggravated a foot issue that's landed him on the injury report in each of the last two weeks. This is a situation to keep an eye on. Rodgers has a highly favorable matchup in Week 9 at Tampa Bay. Nov. 1 - 9:30 pm et

He has helped me so much this year, turning what appears to be bad games to good ones. I hope he's good for next Sunday.

Anyone have info on this? I need this guy! Against Tampa Bay too! My backup is Gerrard, and I really dont want to play him!

update, rotoworld:

Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that Aaron Rodgers won't miss any games with his foot injuries.

McCarthy revealed that Rodgers has a sprain in one foot and a sprained toe on the other, but they won't affect his status against the Buccaneers. Rodgers has played through injuries before and will be a high-end QB1 fantasy start in the favorable matchup, even if he misses some practice time. Nov. 2 - 3:19 pm et

Hopefully, the above report is correct as it would be a shame to sit Rodgers when the Packers are playing Tampa. The Packers will be hungry for a victory after the Minnesota loss, especially since GB and the Bears may end up fighting it out for a wild card spot. If Rodgers can play, he should have a good day against a poor Tampa DEF.

Rdgers sat out practice Wednesday to rest his feet. Keep an eye on whether he practices today or especially Friday.

He practiced today and he'll be fine. The only issue is he can't be mobile and may take more unnecessary hits as he has been all season, leaving him prone to more injury. Fortunately he plays Tampa! ;-D
