Aaron Rodgers: 'I'll be fine for Detroit Lions game'

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is optimistic that he will be fit for his side's showdown against their NFC North rivals the Detroit Lions on Sunday.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is confident that he will be able to play in his side's NFC North showdown against the Detroit Lions despite sustaining a calf injury.

Rodgers sustained the injury in the first quarter of his side's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he still managed to throw for 318 yards and a touchdown in the match, while also battling the flu.

He told reporters: "I'll be OK for next week. I hurt my calf pretty good, but the training staff helped me kind of get through it. Just put some heat on and just tried to push through it.

"It's too early to give a 100% guarantee but it would definitely take a lot to hold me out of that game."

The Packers are currently the number five seed in the NFC, but can leapfrog the Lions in the second seed if they defeat Jim Caldwell's men on Sunday.
