Aaron Rodgers is apparently on the cusp of taking a major step in his rehabilitation.
The Green Bay Packers' star quarterback could return to practice Saturday, pending an evaluation of his health Friday, head coach Mike McCarthy announced.
"He's got a workout today, and we'll obviously evaluate him," McCarthy said Friday. "We're looking tomorrow to potentially practice him in a trial return. ... We'll determine that tomorrow after his work today."
Saturday is the first day Rodgers can practice under injured reserve rules.
Rodgers isn't eligible to play until Week 15 after being placed on IR with a broken collarbone Oct. 20.
