NFC North: Aaron Rodgers has broken thumb on throwing hand

Green Bay Packers future Hall-of-Fame signal-caller, Aaron Rodgers, confirmed Wednesday that he’s dealing with a broken thumb on his throwing hand. It’s an injury he’s been playing with since Week 5.

Rodgers’ revelation goes a long way in explaining his sub-par play in 2022, a season that by almost any measure has been one of the worst of his career.

Rodgers has passed for 2,542 yards, 19 touchdowns, and seven interceptions through 11 games this season.
