Aaron Rodgers turned in another MVP-caliber performance on Sunday Night Football to help the Green Bay Packers dismantle the Chicago Bears, but it might have come at the cost of making his toe injury worse. Despite throwing for 341 yards and four touchdowns in the 45-30 win over the Bears, Rodgers told reporters his fractured pinky toe “feels worse” and that he “definitely took a step back” in the game that will force him to re-evaluate his options in the week ahead. “It feels worse,” Rodgers said in the postgame. “I don’t know what kind of setback that I had tonight, we’ll look at it tomorrow, but definitely took a step back tonight.” The latest Packers news straight to your inbox!
