Aaron Rodgers Confirms He’s Had a Broken Thumb Since Week 5

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers told reporters on Wednesday that he’s been playing with a broken right thumb since Week 5 when the team played the Giants in London.

Rodgers’s injury to his thumb was not well known, so his announcement on Wednesday caused some shock to fans. However, there has been recent speculation about whether or not the quarterback had a broken thumb. Pat McAfee asked Rodgers on his show on Tuesday, and Packers star did not explicitly answer.
