Packers

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers admitted that there’s concern playing through his knee injury could lead to further damage.

“Yeah, obviously that’s a concern,” Rodgers said, via ESPN.com. “Hopefully it goes the other way though.”

According to Rodgers, his knee “obviously it won’t be 100 percent, so I’ll just adjust accordingly to how I’m feeling and try to get through.”

“It just depends on how the week goes with the rehab and the recovery,” Rodgers said. “Obviously, I’d love to be better than I was last week as far as health-wise but there’s some factors that are out of my control.”

• Packers HC Mike McCarthy said of CB Kevin King‘s groin injury: “I think he’s going to be hard pressed to play this week.” McCarthy added that they’re hoping King‘s recovery timeline is short term. (Ryan Wood)
• McCarthy said RB Aaron Jones will start off behind Jamaal Williams and Ty Montgomery in the running back rotation against the Redskins this weekend. (Jim Owczarski)
• Packers worked out five players. (NFLTR)

Redskins

• Redskins HC Jay Gruden said Wednesday that WR Paul Richardson underwent an MRI on his knee and came back clean.
• JP Finlay mentions that it sounds like OL Shawn Lauvao could miss some time, as Gruden said he’s day to day but not a candidate to be placed on injured reserve.
• Redskins tried out six offensive linemen. (NFLTR)
