Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will start today against the Atlanta Falcons, Adam Schefter of NFL Network is reporting.
Rodgers had been listed as questionable with a shoulder injury he suffered last week, but he will be able to extend his consecutive starts streak to an impressive five straight games.
If Rodgers hadn’t been able to go, it surely would have amplified the criticism of coach Mike McCarthy and general manager Ted Thompson for trading Brett Favre to the Jets. But as it is, Rodgers is playing, and so far this season he’s playing pretty well: He has completed 61.9 percent of his passes, with 961 yards through four games, six touchdown passes and three interceptions.
