The Facts: Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Rodgers could return to practice this week.

Diehards Line: Previously, Jay Glazer of FOXSports pegged the potential return as December 2, which is both Saturday and Rodgers’s 40th birthday. The target for a return to game action continues to be Week 16, against the Commanders. Although it makes no sense as to 2023, there’s an argument to be made that Rodgers playing a couple of meaningless games this year will help for next year -- as long as he doesn’t end up with another serious injury that derails his preparations for 2024. Which is possible behind the team’s current offensive line.
