Packers QB Rodgers shoulder injured

The physical toll of facing more pressure Kevin Faulk Jerseyin the pocket has caught up with Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The player that the sluggish Packers can least afford to lose was listed as limited in practice on Wednesday with a right shoulder injury. Coach Mike McCarthy said before practice that his quarterback was ''banged up.'' Rodgers agreed with that assessment, though he said he was not concerned about his availability for Sunday's crucial game at Minnesota. ''Probably banged up. But we all are at this time. It's Week 11 coming up, everybody is http://www.patriotsofficialnflproshop.com/AUTHENTIC+LAVELLE+HAWKINS+JERSEYdealing with different things,'' Rodgers said. ''You get a routine, learn how to take care of your body and push through things.'' Still, Rodgers' health is just the latest worrisome issue for the Packers. A three-game losing skid has dropped Green Bay a game back of the NFC North-leading Vikings. Fourteen players http://www.patriotsofficialnflproshop.com/AUTHENTIC+LEGARRETTE+BLOUNT+JERSEYwere listed on the Packers injury report, including Rodgers and all of the team's starting offensive linemen except for center Corey Linsley. The starters on the right side of the line, tackle Bryan Bulaga (knee) and guard T.J. Lang (shoulder) sat out Wednesday's light practice entirely. McCarthy had longer meetings and walk-throughs on Wednesday, and pushed back practice. He also has to prepare for a short turnaround following the Vikings game since the Packers host the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving night. Protecting Rodgers is always a priority. An offensive line that McCarthy considered last year to be the best during the coach's decade-long tenure in Green Bay hasn't played to that high level this season. McCarthy has said that Rodgers has been hit too much over the past three games. Rodgers has Garry Gilliam Jerseybeen sacked 22 times this season, with half of those sacks in the last three games. That's not counting the other hits that Rodgers has taken, too. Rodgers, for whatever reason, looked a little off in Sunday's 18-16 loss to last-place Detroit. He was 35 of 61 for 333 yards and two scores. ''Missed some http://www.officialseahawksnflstore.com/AUTHENTIC+JR+SWEEZY+JERSEYthrows that I usually hit. We had some catches to catch balls we couldn't catch in order to sustain drives. And then we had a couple mental errors,'' Rodgers said. The loss to the Lions is the low point in the surprising downturn of the Packers' once vaunted offense. Slowly, defenses have adjusted with the Packers operating without their top deep threat, receiver Jordy Nelson, who was lost in the preseason with a right knee injury.
