Rodgers said on Wednesday that he hasn’t received a pain-killing injection for the toe in several weeks.
"That’s been the most encouraging thing. Got through last week without doing one," Rodgers said during a press conference on Wednesday. "It was just a pretty standard shot in the toe — very painful, but numbing agent. So that helped me get through the games. The whole goal was to be able to not have to do that, and it’s been a few games now without doing that."

Rodgers continued: "So, I’m feeling good, practiced today. [I’m] close to 100 percent. I think I should be 100% probably by next week."
In the eight games since his return from the COVID-19 list, Rodgers completed 70% of his passes for 2,221 yards with 20 touchdowns and only one interception. So, clearly, the injury didn’t really have much of an impact on his play.
