GREEN BAY Josh Martin Jerseys 2019 , Wis. â€?A lost season coming to a close without a trip to the playoffs for the Green Bay Packers is ending in a familiar spot for Aaron Rodgers. He¡¯s headed to the Pro Bowl for the seventh time in his career.¡°Yeah, I think there¡¯s a lot of pride with that. Especially knowing the struggles early in the season with my health, and I¡¯m very appreciative,¡± Rodgers said Wednesday.More Packers coverage from FOX Sports WisconsinPackers at Bears to open 2019 scheduleTop Tweets: Brewers make hilarious ¡®Mean Girls¡¯ parody videoMatthews signs with Rams after 10 years with PackersPackers re-sign tight end Marcedes LewisTop Tweets: Nikola Mirotic loves being a Milwaukee BuckIt has been quite the winding road for the Packers and their franchise quarterback since the season-opening win in September against the Chicago Bears. Rodgers hurt his left knee in that game before returning after halftime to lead Green Bay¡¯s rousing 24-23 win following falling to a 20-point deficit.The victory turned out to be the highlight for a disappointing year in Titletown.Rodgers worked through the injury early in the season, missing practice at times to focus on rehab. Injuries to receivers Randall Cobb and Geronimo Allison meant more playing time for Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Equanimeous St. Brown, rookies who hadn¡¯t developed the kind of rapport veterans Cobb and Allison had with the quarterback.Going into this weekend¡¯s game against the New York Jets, Rodgers¡¯ 61.8 percent completion rate was his lowest since his 60.7 rate in 2015, the year that then-top receiver Jordy Nelson was sidelined with a knee injury. The Packers (5-8-1) are 0-7 on the road, having led or been competitive in the second half in each of their last five road defeats before falling short.Season-long struggles on third down and in the red zone helped contribute to the demise of coach Mike McCarthy, who was fired after a stunning 20-17 home loss on Dec. 2 to the lowly Arizona Cardinals.Rodgers still set an NFL record after throwing 402 attempts without an interception, a streak that ended last week in the 24-17 loss at Chicago that helped extinguish Green Bay¡¯s faint playoff hopes.¡°I think there (are) a lot of teams in the National Football League that would love to have a quarterback with 23 touchdowns and two interceptions, and who¡¯s battled through some things and provided leadership to the football team each and every week,¡± interim head coach Joe Philbin said.12View Gallery Gallery HOTOS: Packers at BearsQuinn Harris-USA TODAY Sports | Quinn HarrisRodgers said he hurt his groin last week, though he played the whole game. A year ago, Rodgers sat out the final two weeks after a one-game return from a collarbone injury when the Packers were eliminated that week following a loss to Carolina.Rodgers said he is playing this week, adding he was a full participant in practice on Wednesday.¡°Well White Juston Burris Jerseys , I think it¡¯s a lot about leadership. If I want to be listened to and followed and looked up to, how could I stand here and say that ¡®these games that don¡¯t matter for playoffs, I¡¯m going to cash it in,'¡± Rodgers said.¡°That¡¯s just not the way I lead, and I¡¯m super competitive,¡± he added, ¡°and I want to be out there with the guys, and I look forward to being out there.¡±Another motivating factor to playing could be how close Davante Adams is to setting franchise receiving records. After reaching 100 catches for the first time in his career, Adams needs 13 over the final two games to break Sterling Sharpe¡¯s mark for catches in a season.At 1,315 yards receiving, Adams is 205 from breaking Nelson¡¯s single-season yardage record set in 2014. Asked if he was keeping track, Adams said he wasn¡¯t counting.¡°That would be cool, we¡¯ll see,¡± Adams said with a smile. ¡°Hopefully A-Rod¡¯s counting, so we¡¯ll see.¡±Adams was also voted to the Pro Bowl roster on Tuesday. It¡¯s the second trip for Adams, but his first original selection.NOTES: DL Kenny Clark Juston Burris Jerseys 2019 , who missed last week¡¯s game with an elbow injury, said he had not been told Wednesday that he was going to be placed on injured reserve, and that he would play if cleared. Clark, who has six sacks, is third on the team with 55 tackles. ¡ RT Bryan Bulaga, who missed the last two games with a knee injury, practiced. He said he hopes to return on Sunday. FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) ¡ª Todd Bowles was clearly angry, even if his voice never rose above its usual low tone.The normally stoic New York Jets coach vehemently denied a published report saying that he was stripping defensive coordinator Kacy Rodgers of some play-calling duties.¡°(It¡¯s) 100 percent false,¡± Bowles said Wednesday. ¡°Completely a lie. If somebody said it, it didn¡¯t come out of my mouth.¡±The New York Daily News reported Tuesday that Bowles , according to sources, would call the defensive plays when the Jets face two-minute and hurry-up situations. Bowles is a former NFL defensive coordinator who is also close friends with Rodgers.New York ranks eighth in overall defense, including seventh against the pass, but has struggled in some key spots in its last two losses to Miami and Cleveland. Against the Browns, Baker Mayfield shredded the Jets in a two-minute situation before halftime. The Daily News reported that Bowles would himself try to improve the defense in that area.¡°I have no idea where it came from White Jermaine Kearse Jerseys , so I¡¯ve got nothing else to speak on,¡± Bowles said sternly. ¡°I haven¡¯t done any of it. I don¡¯t know where it came from. It didn¡¯t happen. It hasn¡¯t happened.¡±Bowles added that Rodgers will continue in his current duties of running the entire defense.It was a surprising display of controlled anger from Bowles, who very rarely shows any emotion during his news conferences.¡°I¡¯m pretty much a straight shooter,¡± Bowles said. ¡°If I¡¯ve got something to say, I would probably say it and it would come out of my mouth. It never came out of my mouth. It never happened. End of discussion. It never happened, it¡¯s not going to happen. If I want to take the play calling or call something on the offense, I have that prerogative to do it as a head coach. I never did any of it.¡±That wasn¡¯t the only controversy facing Bowles as the Jets (1-2) prepare to take on the Jaguars in Jacksonville on Sunday.During his weekly radio spot on WFAN on Tuesday, safety Jamal Adams suggested the Jets weren¡¯t prepared to face Mayfield when Tyrod Taylor left with a concussion.¡°To be honest, man, we had to be open to knowing that Baker could come in, but we were prepared for Tyrod,¡± Adams said during the interview. ¡°When Baker came in, obviously, we didn¡¯t have a game plan for him.But hats off to him. He came in, and he definitely played lights out. And they gained momentum, and we just couldn¡¯t grab it back.¡±Adams added that the Jets didn¡¯t foresee Mayfield playing against them.¡°We weren¡¯t prepared for him Jermaine Kearse Jerseys 2019 ,¡± he said. ¡°They¡¯re very similar guys, in ways that they can move the pocket and throw the football. So at the same time, man, we stuck to our game plan.¡±Adams¡¯ comments fueled criticism from fans and media aimed at Bowles for failing to plan to potentially face Mayfield, even though New York had just three days to prepare for the game last Thursday night.¡°Yeah, let¡¯s clear that up,¡± Adams said Wednesday in the locker room. ¡°If you listen to the interview, it tells you everything I said. I simply said we prepared for Tyrod. Obviously, he went down with the injury. We didn¡¯t know that at the time. Baker came in. He had energy. He had confidence. I did not say the coaching staff never had us prepared for two quarterbacks. I did not say that. We¡¯re going to end it at that and we¡¯re going to move on.¡±Bowles downplayed Adams¡¯ comments, calling them a ¡°teachable moment¡± after speaking with the second-year player.¡°He misspoke,¡± Bowles said. ¡°He didn¡¯t mean it, and he¡¯s a young player. Part of having a young player as a leader, sometimes he¡¯s going to have growing pains.¡±Bowles said he had no reaction when he first heard what Adams said. He also declined to elaborate on what Adams specifically meant with his comments, saying he¡¯s not trying to make any excuses.The comments had some wondering, however, whether Bowles was cast in a negative light and whether the incident exposed a potential disconnect between the coach and players.¡°It¡¯s not a bad look White Brandon Shell Jerseys ,¡± Bowles insisted. ¡°It¡¯s a young player, I know what he meant. Our team knows what he meant, and we moved on from there. It¡¯s not a bad look, it¡¯s part of a young player getting older and dealing with the media. He¡¯s going to have some growing pains, but we¡¯ll work through them and he¡¯ll be fine.¡±NOTES: S Marcus Maye (ankle/foot) was limited at practice, marking the first time this season he participated in team drills. He¡¯s hoping he might make his season debut at Jacksonville. ¡°Just trying to be out there with the guys and knowing you can help out and you can¡¯t is definitely frustrating,¡± Maye said. ¡°So if I get the opportunity this week to get out there, that will definitely be a positive thing.¡± ¡ OLB Josh Martin (concussion) was also limited after not practicing since being injured in the third preseason game. ¡ CB Buster Skrine (knee), TE Neal Sterling (concussion), WR Charone Peake (hamstring) and S Doug Middleton (knee/finger) did not practice.
