Packers Injury News: Aaron Rodgers 'Moving Well,' Assesses Detroit Lions Coaches

While he is not completely healthy yet, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is at least moving well, according to the Detroit Lions.

Rodgers most recently took part in a landslide 22-0 win over the Buffalo Bill this past weekend where he completed 22 passes for 298 yards, including a touchdown pass, had five scrambles and one interception.

The win took the Packers to a 2-1-1 record and they will now play the Lions this Sunday at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan. Leading up to the game against the Bills, Rodgers practiced midweek for the first time since his Week 1 knee injury against the Chicago Bears.

While he later denied it having any real impact on him, stating he practiced because he felt the team needed a little jolt, he was certainly a lot more mobile against Buffalo and, according to Lions coach Matt Patricia, the 34-year-old is looking good.

“He looks really good to me," Patricia said on a conference call Tuesday, as quoted on Detroit Free Press. "He looks like he is moving around just fine. I think you can see it in his play. I think he’s probably in a position where he feels like he can do everything and maybe they were trying to limit him a little bit, but he doesn’t look like he’s limited at all so I’m sure he’ll be ready to go."

"He’s an extremely athletic player. Even if you go back to the Washington [Redskins] game where you can say he wasn’t moving as well, but he still scrambled and ran for first downs on third down and no one could catch him. So this guy is very, very dangerous when he’s out in space. This guy can make and create a lot of plays, not only with his arms but with his legs," Patricia added.

Patricia's comments were backed by Lions defensive coordinator Paul Pasqualoni who urged the team to be prepared for a high level Rodgers when the Packers come to town.

"I know that he was hurt in the first game against the Chicago Bears, but as you evaluate the film, especially last week’s film against Buffalo, he’s moving extremely well," Pasqualoni explained. "He’s playing at a very, very high level. He’s running the ball. He’s doing everything that he’s always done and he’s doing it very well."

"So I think we have to be prepared for Aaron Rodgers to come in here, we got to be prepared for his best shot cause that’s what we’ll expect to get."

As for Rodgers, despite the big win over Buffalo, he only had harsh words after the game.

"We were terrible on offense," Rodgers said, as per CBS Sports. "I don't think it made a difference for the offense. That's what it was. It was as bad as we've played on offense with that many yards in a long time."

"I'm also a realist. That's just not acceptable offense for us. 423 yards looks pretty good in comparison to some of the games we've put forward the first three weeks, but it should have been about 45 points and 600 yards."
