Packers not concerned with Aaron Rodgers' thumb injury

GREEN BAY, Wis. — The hit that Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers took on the final play of Sunday's loss to the New York Giants in London kept him out of practice on Wednesday but should not affect his status for Sunday's game against the New York Jets.

Giants linebacker Oshane Ximines sacked Rodgers on a Hail Mary attempt. He hit Rodgers' throwing arm and forced a fumble. Rodgers could be seen flexing his right hand as he walked off the field.

Rodgers said Tuesday on the Pat McAfee Show that his thumb was sore. «He's not going to practice today,» Packers coach Matt LaFleur said before Sunday's practice. «But I don't think we have much concern as far as gameday.» Jordan Love was expected to handle the starting quarterback snaps in practice.

Rodgers is 3-0 in his career against the Jets but is off to a slow start. His QBR of 44.6 is the lowest through the first five games of a season in his career.
