Packers QB Rodgers is uncertain for Sunday

Aaron Rodgers wants to keep playing through his growing list of injuries as long as the struggling Green Bay Packers still have a mathematical chance of reaching the playoffs.

The Packers' postseason hopes remain alive, if only in the technical sense, after a 40-33 loss at Philadelphia on Sunday dropped their record to 4-8. Rodgers, already playing with a broken right thumb, left with injured ribs in the second half.

“I know he's feeling better today,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Monday. “I think we'll know more in the next couple of days.”

LaFleur said the Packers planned to continue relying on Rodgers if the four-time MVP is healthy enough to play.

Green Bay will be at Chicago on Sunday.

“Aaron's the starting quarterback,” LaFleur said. “He's battled through a lot throughout the course of his career. I think he's been able to play at a pretty high level through a lot of different situations. So we'll take it one game at a time and make the best decision moving forward.”

Jordan Love, the team's 2020 first-round pick, took over for the injured Rodgers on Sunday and looked better than he had in any of his other sporadic appearances, going 6 of 9 for 113 yards and finding Christian Watson for a 63-yard touchdown. CHIEFS ADD RUNNING BACK GORDON >> The Kansas City Chiefs signed two-time Pro Bowl running back Melvin Gordon to their practice squad, adding some muchneeded depth with a player that was recently released from the AFC West rival Denver Broncos.

Gordon was cut last week amid fumble problems that plagued the Chargers' 2015 first-round pick during his time in Denver. While he ran for 318 yards and caught 25 passes for 223 yards in 10 starts, averaging 3.5 yards per carry, Gordon also fumbled five times in 10 games, including a costly one in a loss to the Raiders.
