Aaron Rodgers, Donald Driver still out of practice

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is still not practicing and neither is one of his top weapons, wide receiver Donald Driver. Both missed practice Wednesday and Thursday. Rodgers is nursing a sprain on each foot, but he is expected to take some snaps in Friday's practice and play Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Until then, backup quarterback Matt Flynn has and will handle the first-team practice reps. Driver's status is apparently a little more questionable. He sustained a stinger in Sunday's loss to Minnesota, and although he returned to the game, he has yet to practice this week. He was on the field Thursday and according to the Green Bay Press-Gazette, Driver seemed to be in good spirits but wasn't wearing pads during the portion open to reporters.

Fantasy Analysis:
Some are worried about Driver's status because he rarely misses practice, but he is a very tough player who has missed just two games since 2001. I wouldn't think that a stinger can keep him out of a game, even if it's a game that the Packers can probably win without him. I expect that he and Rodgers will practice on Friday and continue to be fantasy must-starts, especially this week when they burn the Bucs' pathetic pass defense.
