Packers QB Aaron Rodgers still hoping to return this season
By ASSOCIATED PRESS November 3, 2017 — 11:12pm
Aaron Rodgers will not decide whether he will play again this season. His surgically repaired collarbone will make that call.Speaking with reporters Friday for the first time since fracturing his right collarbone in an Oct. 15 loss to Minnesota, the Green Bay Packers quarterback said he wants to play again this season. He hopes that backup quarterback Brett Hundley and his teammates can keep the Packers in playoff contention while he is out, but how he heals is the key factor.
"I'm always positive," Rodgers said. "It comes down to how fast the bone heals. If it heals and we're in the right position, there's a conversation."
Injured when he was taken down by the Vikings' Anthony Barr after throwing a pass while rolling out of the pocket, Rodgers underwent Oct. 19 surgery in which screws and a plate were affixed to his collarbone.
Rodgers was placed on injured reserve the day after surgery, which by NFL rules meant he could begin practicing after six weeks and could play again after eight weeks.
The Packers (4-3) have struggled since Rodgers' injury and face Detroit (3-4) at home on Monday night.
Rodgers was forced to watch the Packers' Oct. 22 loss to the New Orleans Saints on television but will be on the sideline for the game against the Lions. That should help Hundley, though Rodgers made it clear he doesn't want to have a negative effect on the young quarterback, either.
"Maybe stay out of the way, to be honest," Rodgers replied when asked how he best could help Hundley. "It's giving him space to be the guy but helping him as much as he wants."

"I'm always positive," Rodgers said. "It comes down to how fast the bone
heals. If it heals and we're in the right position, there's a
conversation."
To me, this quote sounds like he most likely won't come back if there's zero chance for playoffs. Hell, if they have a shot at making the playoffs in late December, they might not want to rush him back anyway.

So he wants a mulligan on the back nine of his career?

Rodgers can drink some Grape Crush and sit on the couch. The packers will be mathematically out of the hunt in 5 weeks.
