Packers' Aaron Rodgers expected to play vs. Rams despite toe injury

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is expected to take the field on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams despite being sidelined during practices this week with a fractured toe. 

Rodgers isn't the only injured player the Packers have to contend with entering this Sunday's matchup, which features two NFC titans trying to turn things around after disappointing losses.

Of course, Rodgers' injury has garnered the most attention after he placed his bare foot in front of microphones during a press conference in an effort to confirm he doesn't have "COVID toe."  Teammate Billy Turner went so far as to make fun of the toe debacle in his media appearance on Friday.
