Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has revealed that his return will not be rushed even if his team are in a playoff-deciding game.
Rodgers has been out for the past seven weeks with a fractured collarbone but his team have continued to be competitive, moving to a 7-6-1 record following their win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
Rodgers told ESPN: "It's amazing that we're sitting here 7-6-1 with a chance to win two and be in. Not only that, but win two and be in and maybe be the three seed.
"[But] I don't think it really influences my thought process any more than playing last week and wanting to be out there last week did."
The Packers are currently second in the NFC North, just one game behind the first-placed Chicago Bears whom they are still to play for the second time.
