A week earlier, he had at least taken a few snaps in the Friday practice leading up to last Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
Rodgers started slowly in that game but looked capable of anything after halftime as he led the Packers into the end zone on every second-half possession.
LaFleur upbeat
Backup Jordan Love handled all the first-team reps this week, but LaFleur revealed Rodgers was able to rehearse the playcalls for the visit of the 7-3 Rams.
"Well, he came down to practice," LaFleur said on Friday, via ESPN. "He didn't participate in practice, but he was out there and relaying the calls to Jordan, just getting that practice of just saying the playcalls."
The head coach then made it abundantly clear that Rodgers will start, saying, "Yeah, he'll play."
