Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is listed as probable and expected to play against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday despite a calf injury.
Rodgers was a limited participant in practice Thursday, and coach Mike McCarthy told reporters Friday, “Aaron Rodgers came through the practice with everything OK. Feels good today. I feel he’s going to be available for the game.”
The Packers did not practice Friday but will have one more Saturday before hosting the Cowboys in the divisional playoff game Sunday at Lambeau Field.
Rodgers suffered the injury to his left calf in Week 16 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and briefly left the Packers’ Week 17 game against the Detroit Lions before returning to rally Green Bay to victory. It was initially reported as a strain, but it also has been reported as a slight tear.
Either way, McCarthy expects Rodgers to be his usual self.
“He looks like he’s moving fine to me right now,” the coach said. “We’re not going to change anything or our approach of how we want to attack Dallas’ defense.”
