Aaron Rodgers injury: Packers QB looking unlikely to play vs. Dallas

The Green Bay Packers do not believe that their franchise quarterback will be able to play against the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday at AT&T Stadium, according to Ed Werder.

Aaron Rodgers, who has been nursing a broken collarbone for the past seven weeks, has not yet been medically cleared to play by the team doctors. The injury was originally thought to be a 4-6 week issue, but is now spilling past that timetable. Now, any action before the 8-week mark is thought to be unlikely.

Without Rodgers, the Packers have gone 1-4-1 with the trio of Seneca Wallace, Scott Tolzien and Matt Flynn getting starts. Flynn won the only game out of the group, beating the Atlanta Falcons 22-21 last Sunday to keep playoff hopes alive.

Green Bay is only a half-game behind the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears for the NFC North crown and a likely No. 4 seed in the NFC playoffs.
