Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy has revealed that quarterback Aaron Rodgers has made significant progress in practice this week and could return to action on Sunday.
Rodgers has been sidelined since early November with a fractured collarbone and has missed his side's last six matches, but could make his comeback against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
McCarthy told reporters: "Aaron Rodgers practised well today. We'll have a conversation tomorrow. He's still not medically cleared. He looked very good at practice.
"We'll make sure we get Matt [Flynn] ready to play. Matt took the majority of the snaps. I'll have an announcement tomorrow."
The Packers are 7-6-1 in their season going into week 16.
