Aaron Rodgers believes that work to strengthen his ankles prevented him from sustaining a more serious injury against the Chicago Bears on Sunday.

Aaron Rodgers has said that an ankle injury will not affect him when the Green Bay Packers play the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.

The Packers quarterback sustained the injury in the fourth quarter against the Chicago Bears when he was tackled by defensive end Corey Wootten and linebacker Lance Briggs.

The reigning NFL MVP told ESPN: "It's all right. I have pretty strong ankles. I've sprained my ankles a number of times over the years.

"One thing that I've sworn by, I haven't taped my ankles in [about] nine years. I swear by it.

"I believe it helps you strengthen those ankles and so when you do have a twist like I had, which was pretty significant in the game, here I am a couple days later and there's no doubt that I'll play Sunday."

The Packers sealed the NFC North title with victory over the Bears last weekend.
