The Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur has confirmed that Aaron Rodgers will start in Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears if he is fit to play. This comes despite the strong performance of replacement quarterback Jordan Love in the Packers’ 40-33 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Rodgers had to leave the game third quarter after suffering a rib injury. The Packers star underwent a series of tests on Monday after he stated that he was suffering from pain and had trouble breathing.
LaFleur has confirmed that he will stick with Rodgers as first-choice quarterback until such time that injury requires him to be replaced, despite the fact that Love has been more physically fit this season. Before the rib injury, Rodgers had been playing for weeks with a broken right thumb.
“It’s just, we’ve got a lot of faith, quite frankly, in both those guys. But you know, Aaron’s the starting quarterback,” LaFleur commented. “He’s battled through a lot throughout the course of his career. It’s pretty well documented, and I think he’s been able to play at a pretty high level through a lot of different situations. So again, we’ll take it one game at a time and make the best decision moving forward.”
