Packers Week 7 injury report: Aaron Rodgers misses practice

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers missed practice on Wednesday ahead of the team’s Week 7 matchup with the Washington Commanders.

Reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers continues to deal with a thumb injury, and it kept him out of the Green Bay Packers‘ practice on Wednesday.

Rodgers injured his thumb in the Packers’ loss to the New York Giants in London, but he was able to play against the New York Jets in Week 7.

The Packers released their first injury report for Week 7 on Wednesday.

Packers Week 7 injury report: Aaron Rodgers misses practice

Of course, anytime Aaron Rodgers is on the injury report, it’s something to watch.

However, the four-time NFL MVP was able to play last week, so it’s possible he is just being given additional time to rest his thumb before practicing later in the week.

Rodgers was one of four players not practicing for Green Bay on Wednesday.

Wide receiver Randall Cobb missed practice due to the ankle injury that forced him out of last week’s game against the Jets. It comes as no surprise as Cobb isn’t expected to play this week.

Wide receiver Christian Watson was again held out of practice due to a hamstring injury. The question is whether the Packers believe he can return soon, or whether the best option would be to place him on injured reserve to give him four additional weeks to recover.

That’s what the team did with Sammy Watkins when he injured his hamstring.

The other player not to practice on Wednesday was offensive lineman Jake Hanson, who suffered a biceps injury against the Jets.

Edge rusher Rashan Gary, listed on the injury report with a toe injury, practiced in full. Offensive linemen David Bakhtiari and Elgton Jenkins were both limited participants during Wednesday’s practice.

It’s early in the week, but there were no real surprises on the first injury report for the Packers.
