Rodgers Active vs. Falcons

Sunday, Jan. 22

The Packers announced Rodgers is available to play Sunday against Atlanta.

According to ESPN.com's Rob Demovsky, Rodgers came down with a bug that has been going around the Packers locker room.

"We'll be OK," Rodgers said, per Demovsky. "It's kind of going around. I know Jordy [Nelson] had it. Mason [Crosby] had it. I got it. So we're all...we're going to be OK and deal with it."

Rodgers was not listed on the Packers' injury report. 

More important for Rodgers is the health of his wide receivers. Nelson (ribs), Davante Adams (ankle) and Geronimo Allison (hamstring) were all listed as questionable but are in the lineup with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line.
