While addressing the media on Wednesday, Rodgers was asked if there are any lingering effects regarding his Achilles injury. “I can’t say I’m bereft of some difficulties with the Achilles,” Rodgers responded. “But it’s a process. I feel better [from] Week 1 to Week 2, Week 2 to Week 3, and then we got a nice little gift there with the long weekend, so I feel better. I said after Week 1 I felt like I was going to progress and be able to move around a little bit more, I did that maybe a little bit against Tennessee and then obviously moved around a lot more effectively in Week 3.”
