Despite not making a single throw in practice this week, Rodgers is prepared to start for the Green Bay Packers on Sunday at Seattle.

Impacts: Coach Mike McCarthy said the team made a medical decision to keep Rodgers, who has a sprained right shoulder, from throwing in practice Friday.

"I would've liked to do a little throwing, but I did as much as I could (in practice) with the run game and took the mental reps. I feel good about the game plan and my preparation.''

Pierce plans to play against the Cleveland Browns on Monday despite missing two straight practices with a thigh injury.

Impacts: Coach Romeo Crennel said Friday that Winslow was kept overnight at the Cleveland Clinic. Winslow had been feeling ill for several days and the team sent him to the doctor Thursday for further tests and evaluation.

Citing patient privacy laws, Crennel did not provide specifics on Winslow's illness.

Curtis is expected to see his first action this season Sunday against the 49ers after having surgery for a sports hernia.
