Aaron Rodgers celebrated his 34th birthday by returning to Green Bay Packers practice.
The two-time NFL MVP is on injured reserve and was designated to return by the Packers on Saturday. Rodgers wouldn’t be eligible to play at the earliest until Dec. 17 at Carolina.
But at least the Packers have their starting quarterback back at practice for the first time since he broke his right collarbone on Oct. 15 at Minnesota. He had surgery four days later.
For the #Packers and QB Aaron Rodgers, many factors will go into him actually playing — including the scan, the team’s standing. Today, he practiced a little and obviously not with the first-team. It merely means he hasn’t had any setbacks. He’s on schedule

If he doesn’t return vs. the Panthers, Rodgers would have to be activated the following week against the Vikings or he would not be able to play again this season.
The Packers have been cautious about a timeline for a potential return for Rodgers since he got hurt, warning that it could have ended his season.
