Packers' Aaron Rodgers Hopeful To Play Sunday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is hoping he'll be able to start this Sunday against the NFC North rival Minnesota Vikings.  Rodgers suffered what he is calling a sprained knee in this past Sunday's win over Chicago.  He left the game in the first half but later returned to guide Green Bay to an improbable fourth-quarter rally.  Rodgers did not practice on Wednesday.  Backup DeShone Kizer will get plenty of reps this week in case Rodgers can't play.
