The Green Bay Packers can say all they want that quarterback Aaron Rodgers is day to day with a knee injury. The two-time NFL MVP will be given the whole week to get ready for Sunday's game against Minnesota Discount Alexander Mattison Jersey , coach Mike McCarthy said."Yeah, well, you know he walks on water, so I'm sure he's going to play," Zimmer said Wednesday in a conference call.Green Bay returned to the practice field on Wednesday, though Rodgers did not participate and stayed at Lambeau Field to rehab. Asked at his locker if it was accurate to say his injury was a sprained knee, Rodgers said, "Sure ... say sprained knee."Wearing a brace could be an option, depending on how the quarterback feels later in the week. If he can't go, the Packers would turn to backup DeShone Kizer, who accounted for two turnovers after coming in when Rodgers got hurt in the second quarter last week against the Bears."Haven't even thought about that," Rodgers said when asked if he had confidence in Kizer if the backup needed to start.So it's understandable why Zimmer and the Vikings think Rodgers will play. After all, Rodgers returned from injury on Sunday after being taken to the locker room on the front seat of a cart.Rodgers walked back out halftime Stitched Olisaemeka Udoh Jersey , took over on the first series of the second half and threw three touchdown passes in the fourth quarter to rally the Packers from 20 points down to a 24-23 victory. He said after the game that while he had to undergo more tests, he planned on playing against Minnesota.Rehabbing on Wednesday was not a setback, McCarthy said."I think anytime a player comes off a game where he's injured, obviously there's the hope of playing," McCarthy added. "We'll give him the whole week to get ready. So we'll take it day by day and learn as we go."Rodgers said he was feeling progressively better over the last couple days, though still sore. The 14-year veteran said he does not need to practice to play."I mean every practice is important," receiver Davante Adams said. "But ... two days is not going to make or break whether (we have) success, whether it's me and DeShone, me and Aaron, whoever it may be."Rodgers has played before with an injured left knee. He tore the ACL in his knee in high school, and played with the injury for four years before having surgery while in college at California. He also had a cleanup procedure on the knee a few years ago by the Packers team doctor."So I know what it feels like to play with something like this, and hopefully I'll be at the point where I can (play) on Sunday," Rodgers said.He described how he was cleared to play by the team doctor at halftime against the Bears so long as he could "deal with the pain." There were a couple throws in which Rodgers said he got a "jolt" of pain after putting weight on his left leg."It's super painful Olisaemeka Udoh Minnesota Vikings Jerseys , and you've just got to suck it up and play through it," Rodgers said at his locker. "To be in this room, you've got to be mentally and physical tough."If Rodgers does play, it would be his first game against the Vikings since the two-time MVP broke his right collarbone following a hit from Minnesota linebacker Anthony Barr on Oct. 15. The injury limited Rodgers to seven games last year."We know he's playing," Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen said.NOTES: Adams also missed practice after he said he hurt his shoulder when a Bears defensive back landed on him after making a 51-yard catch. He said he would try to return to practice on Thursday and was optimistic about playing Sunday. "So we're just taking it light a little bit just so we can build up and be ready for Sunday," Adams said. ...

Once again, the time for Minnesota Vikings football is nearly upon us. The Vikings will take on the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon out on the East Coast, and are going to try to win their first game in nearly a month. . .yes, it has been almost a month since the Vikings won a football game. That’s sort of depressing to think about, isn’t it?So, if you’re wondering about how you can follow along with all of the action on Sunday afternoon, we’ve got everything you need here in one place.Television InfoThis game is actually part of the late slate of Sunday afternoon games this week Minnesota Vikings Jerseys Stitched , which means that it will be kicking off at 3:25 PM Central on Sunday afternoon. This game will be broadcast on FOX, which is KMSP-9 in the Twin Cities, and the play-by-play will be handled by Joe Buck and Troy Aikman.If you’re wondering whether or not you’re in the main broadcast area for this week’s game, below is the map from 506 Sports. The Vikings/Eagles game is in red.For our friends over in the United Kingdom, this game will be broadcast on Sky Sports, specifically on Sky Sports Action and Sky Sports Main Event. Coverage of this game will start on those channels at 9:00 PM UK time.For our men and women in uniform overseas, this game will actually be shown LIVE on the American Forces Network on AFN Prime Atlantic. Kickoff is scheduled for 2100Z, which means is a 2200L kickoff for everyone in Central Europe, Monday morning at 0030L for viewers in Afghanistan, and 0500L for anyone watching in Japan and Korea.Radio InfoIf you’re not going to be anywhere near a television for this one, you’ll be able to hear the call from Paul Allen and Pete Bercich on the Vikings Radio Network. That link goes to a list of Vikings Radio Network affiliates across the Upper Midwest. See if yours will be carrying the game. There are a couple of other places you can find it online as well, including the TuneIn radio service as well as the KFAN site (if you’re on a desktop or laptop computer only. . .it won’t work on phones or tablets).For those that have satellite radio (which, I’ll admit Olisaemeka Udoh Jersey nfl draft , has been a life saver for me the last two weeks as I’ve been traveling), you can find the Vikings Radio Network feed on Sirius Channel 127. If you have XM Radio, you can hear the game on XM Channel 225, but be advised that it will be the Eagles’ radio feed. If you’re using the SiriusXM Online App, the Vikings’ permanent home there is Channel 819.Referee InfoAccording to the folks from Football Zebras, the officiating crew for this week’s contest will be led by Walt Coleman. The Vikings last saw Walt Coleman in December of last season, as his officiating crew was responsible for calling the Vikings’ 34-7 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals at U.S. Bank Stadium.Weather InfoFrom what the good folks at WeatherNation are saying about this one, it’s going to be another warm one in Philadelphia on Sunday. In fact, it looks like the weather conditions will be similar to what the Vikings saw last Thursday in Los Angeles. Temperatures at kickoff are forecast to be in the low 80s with some light winds and mostly cloudy skies.Streaming InfoThere are several legal subscription services that are available in order to stream the game legally. Among them are Fubo.tv, USTVNow, and Sling TV. If you’re overseas, your best bet is going to be NFL GamePass.Since it has recently been brought up, I want to make it perfectly clear that streams from Reddit or other places are not. . .I repeat Super Bowl Olisaemeka Udoh Jersey , not. . .legal. If you’d like to argue about that, you can argue it somewhere else, because the moderators won’t listen to that garbage. Until Reddit, or anywhere else, has a deal with the National Football League, those streams are illegal and not welcome to be put up on this site. If you want to use them, go find them on your own and don’t be plastering them in the comments section here unless you’d rather not be in the comments of the Game Thread. . .or any other thread. . .here at DN.That should be all of the information you need in order to keep track of all the action from Lincoln Financial Field between the Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon. We’ll have our Open Thread for the first quarter up about an hour before kickoff or so, and we hope that you’ll join us here for all of the fun!
