\nAaron Rodgers denied that there were plans to shut him down.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters Rodgers said he was disappointed that he was not cleared for a return to the field but said he planned on returning this season.<\/p>\n

“At this point, it’s really about the risk of going back out there,” Rodgers said on his weekly radio show. “I can’t say this morning was the greatest news because I was hoping for full clearance to get back out there and we didn’t get that. It’s Tuesday so we have a good amount of time before the game.”<\/p>\n

Rodgers seemed to squelch the thought that the Packers would shut down their franchise quarterback to avoid an injury.<\/p>\n

“If I’m healthy, I want to be on the field,” Rodgers said<\/a>. “This is my team. … I care about it too much. Put too much into this. Don’t want to miss opportunities.” <\/p>\n

Matt Flynn will take the starters snaps in practice this week and would appear set to start his second straight game.<\/p>\n

Since Rodgers suffered a broken collarbone the Packers have gone 0-4-1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
