Rodgers exits practice after just a few handoffs

Associated Press

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- He'll take an injection. He'll try wearing a shoulder harness. He'll push himself through painful rehabilitation exercises.

Anything to be back on the field for the Green Bay Packers.

Touchdowns: 6
Interceptions: 3

Despite a sprained right shoulder that limited him to a light workload in practice on Wednesday, quarterback Aaron Rodgers says he'll do whatever it takes to start Sunday's game against Atlanta at Lambeau Field.

Rodgers says he doesn't face any extra pressure to push himself because of the ironman consecutive-starts streak put together by his predecessor, Brett Favre.

"Listen, I want to play every game," Rodgers said. "I don't need that, 'Oh, you've got to play because Brett played 250 in a row.' I don't need that. I have pride in myself. I've played with some serious injuries before, so that's personal pride. I don't need any extra fuel to play."

Favre started a quarterback-record 253 consecutive regular-season games for the Packers before he was traded to the New York Jets. Right now, Rodgers' prospects for starting five in a row look iffy.

Rodgers sprained his right shoulder in last Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, and was limited to handing off a few times in practice on Wednesday. Rookie backups Matt Flynn and Brian Brohm got most of the work in practice and Flynn will start if Rodgers can't.

Rodgers said the pain is getting better, but the main factor that will get him back on the field is regaining the strength in his shoulder.

"Things are, at least in the big picture, getting better," Rodgers said. "The swelling's going down. But now really, it's really about the strength. If I get the strength back, then I can throw. I'll be able to play."

Favre, Johnson named FedEx Air & Ground Players of the Week

NFL.com

Quarterback Brett Favre of the New York Jets and running back Larry Johnson of the Kansas City Chiefs are the FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week for games played on Sept. 28-29.

Favre completed 24 of 34 passes for 289 yards and a career-high six touchdowns in the Jets' 56-35 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Favre showed no signs of an ankle injury that limited him during the week, hitting eight different receivers and helping the Jets even their record at 2-2.

Johnson had two rushing touchdowns in the Chiefs' 33-19 win over the previously undefeated Denver Broncos. Brown rushed for 198 yards on 28 carries, including a 65-yard run in the first quarter to set up Kansas City's first field goal.

Favre and Johnson were selected from among six finalists in Air and Ground categories. The other FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week finalists were quarterbacks Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints and Jason Campbell of the Washington Redskins, and running backs Earnest Graham of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Clinton Portis of the Washington Redskins.
