NFL Player Injury News for Wild Card Playoff Round as of Tuesday
Quarterback
QB Aaron Rodgers - GB - Rodgers re-injured his calf and had to be carted to the locker room against the Lions on Sunday, but was able to return after missing just two series (getting treatment over half-time). He did suffer a further aggravation of his lower left leg when Ndamukong Suh stepped on the sore appendage (twice!) later during the game. The good news is that the Packers earned a bye week with their victory on Sunday, so Rodgers has additional time to get treatment and heal up his calf muscle for the playoffs. QB Drew Stanton - ARI - Stanton was unable to practice last week due to his injured knee, and he was inactive on Sunday after being listed as out on Friday. Per RotoWorld.com and the Doug & Wolf Show, GM Steve Keim said, "At this point it's day to day, but we're hopeful."
Running Back
