Maybe Packers coach Mike McCarthy just wanted to wait to have a press conference until he had something to say.

The Packers should find out more about the future of quarterback Aaron Rodgers today, as he’s having another round of scans to determine how much his broken left collarbone has healed, according to Ed Werder of ESPN.

That will go a long way toward clearing up some of the mixed reports about his future which emerged over the weekend.

If the bone has healed enough for him to take a shot and play, Rodgers has indicated that he wants to get back out there, regardless of record. But today’s tests should tell him whether playing this weekend against the Falcons is medically responsible, or wishful thinking for him and the 5-6-1 Packers.
