Aaron Rodgers Lost Feeling In 'Couple Of Fingers'

Nov 28, 2015 12:48 PM

Aaron Rodgers lost feeling in a few of his fingers during Thursday's loss but didn't need to come out of the game.

"I lost feeling in my hand for a good portion of the game there in the third quarter [and] fourth quarter," Rodgers said. "I'm waiting to get it back in a couple of fingers, but it's OK in the first three."

A hit by Lamarr Houston caused the injury.

"That's the old funny bone," Rodgers said. "Not so funny."

Rodgers had to use his right hand on all hand-offs.

James Jones wore a green hoodie under his uniform for Sunday's game at the Minnesota Vikings.

"It's green, it's the right uniform colors, and it's just Cali swag, man, to keep me warm," Jones, a San Jose, California native, told NFL Media's Steve Wyche. "It's short sleeve, so hopefully I started something good, keep me warm."

The hoodie created buzz during the game.

"We might get some dudes playing in it now," he said. "That would be sweet."

Eddie Lacy Unsure Why His Production Has Dropped

Nov 13, 2015 11:15 AM

Eddie Lacy has lost his job as starting running back of the Green Bay Packers to James Starks and he isn't sure what's impacting his play.

"My ankle's cool," he said, per the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and insisted any added weight is not influencing his poor play. "No," Lacy said, twice, when asked about his size being a problem.

"I honestly don't know what it is," Lacy said. "Definitely, I'm off to a different start. I'm not playing how I was the previous two years. Later on in the season, maybe it'll pick back up. But as of right now, this is just the move that is going to be.

"This season (Starks) has definitely been the better player between the both of us. That's just the move."

Starks gave the Packers a boost in the passing game, catching six passes for 83 yards (including gains of 30 and 29 yards – the latter for a touchdown – on screen passes), but he managed only 39 yards on 10 carries.

 

Lacy rushed five times for 10 yards with a lost fumble.
