 Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said Rodgers got through his
practice work on Thursday no worse for wear and is officially listed
as probable on the injury report.
“He feels good today," McCarthy told reporters. “He’s progressing
forward.
“He looks like he’s moving fine to me right now, so we’re not going
to change any approach for how we want to attack the Dallas
defense.”
The forecast for Sunday’s game calls for moderately cold
temperatures and light winds, removing another concern over whether
conditions would hamper Rodgers.
 Rodgers, 31, originally hurt his calf against the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers and aggravated the injury the next week in the regular
season-finale against the Detroit Lions.
After going to the sidelines, Rodgers returned to finish the Lions
game despite impaired mobility in a 30-20 victory. Last week's bye
for the NFC North champions gave the quarterback extra time to
recuperate.
