After losing workhorse running back Eddie Lacy to an ankle injury, Green Bay went after Seattle through the air early and often during a 27-17 victory, beginning with an opening-drive touchdown from Rodgers to a reinvigorated James Jones who was covered by Richard Sherman. And after the Seahawks managed to take a lead late in the third quarter, the Packers went back to the well, this time to tight end Richard Rodgers, who hauled in the go-ahead touchdown and subsequent two-point conversion....

Rather than echo the report’s official “limited participant” to describe his QB’s status, coach Mike McCarthy called him “banged up.” MORE WEEK 11: Predictions | Picks against spread | Panthers, Pats top power rankings “But we all are at this time,” Rodgers said in affirming his coach’s description. “It’s Week 11 coming up; everybody is dealing with different things. That’s the NFL. You get a routine, learn how to take care of your body and push through things....

Packers coach Mike McCarthy told reporters that Rodgers was ruled out this week. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported earlier in the day that Green Bay was expected to play without him again this week. "As an organization, we are not ready for Aaron Rodgers to play," McCarthy said. This will be the seventh consecutive week that Rodgers has been sidelined. Rodgers has been sidelined since he fractured his collarbone in Week 9 against Chicago....

The Packers quarterback recognized the Redskins had too many men on the field in the second quarter of Sunday’s NFC wild-card battle, so he went under center for a quick snap. Rogers’ awareness led to a Randall Cobb 12-yard touchdown catch. MORE: Live scoreboard | NFC wild-card games in photos | Seahawks survive after Blair Walsh’s blunder But should it have counted?

The 49ers should be pumped for their home opener in prime time. The Packers will hope for a much better road result than their clunker vs. the Saints in Jacksonville in Week 1. Will Green Bay stay on track and get above .500 or will San Francisco pull off another gritty close victory to remain undefeated? Here’s everything to know about betting on Packers vs. 49ers in Week 3, including updated odds, trends and our prediction for “Sunday Night Football....

The Packers’ biggest injury issue is at running back, where Aaron Jones (calf-questionable) is a game-time decision with both Jamaal Williams and A.J. Dillon (COVID-19) not playing. The backfield work could fall on the combination of Tyler Ervin and Dexter Williams. The good news is, wide receiver Allen Lazard may return to flank Davante Adams and boost Aaron Rodgers. The 49ers lost quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) and tight end George Kittle (foot) to significant injuries last week....

After a rough “Thursday Night Football” loss to the Eagles, the Packers will fly home Sunday with a 34-24 victory over the Cowboys in Arlington, Texas. It was one for the record books, too; this game had the most combined yards ever in the Packers-Cowboys rivalry. There was an “Aaron Show” in Jerry World, but not so much Rodgers as Jones. The Packers running back etched his name into the franchise record book, tying a record with four rushing touchdowns....

What’s new The Padres did very little this offseason, adding Josh Johnson and a couple high-strikeout relievers (Alex Torres, Joaquin Benoit) to their uninspiring collection of fantasy talent. Fantasy owners rarely look to San Diego, and when they did last year, they were largely disappointed. The top Padre in the Fantasy Source Roto Rater was Andrew Cashner (No. 106), who was one of just four San Diego players in the top 200....

It also can’t be separated from the person that owner bought the Panthers from … and why he could. David Tepper, who was approved by the league in May and officially took over in July, is literally the NFL’s new guard and, in this context, the only member of that club. The old guard is the one that has spent two years trying to outlaw player protest and making outspokenness a punishable offense, like steroid use or throwing a punch during a game....

The play occurred in the first quarter of New England’s 24-6 win after Jones was strip-sacked by Panthers defensive end Brian Burns. Jones coughed up the ball and it fell to the ground behind him. As Burns tried to go after the ball, Jones grabbed hold of his ankle and refused to let go. Burns tried to wriggle free but his leg twisted as a result of Jones’ hold. He came up limping after the play and had to be helped to the sideline....

The Magic kicked off Thursday night’s event by selecting Duke’s Paolo Banchero with the No. 1 overall pick, blowing up several mock drafts that predicted Auburn’s Jabari Smith Jr. and Gonzaga’s Chet Holmgren would be the first two players off the board. Smith was the No. 1 pick in mock drafts for The Sporting News, ESPN, Sports Illustrated, The Athletic, Bleacher Report and The Ringer.

Often, papilledema is detected as part of the routine eye examination that you would have if you see an optometrist, an ophthalmologist, or a neurologist. It is a diagnostic finding that your healthcare provider can see with a quick non-invasive inspection of your eyes using a specialized eye exam device. Your practitioner would also check you to see if you have papilledema and complaints that could be related to one or more of the medical problems that can cause swelling of the optic discs....
