Packers rookie quarterback Jordan is starting for the Packers in place of injured Aaron Rodgers.

The Green Bay Packers are starting rookie quarterback Jordan over an injured Aaron Rodgers for their game against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. This is the first time that a team has started a rookie quarterback over an injured veteran in over 50 years, and it’s a huge moment for Jordan, who was drafted in the second round of this year’s draft. Here’s why he was picked to start and what it means for his future.

Why is Jordan starting?

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur announced on Wednesday that Rodgers would not be playing against the Bears due to a broken collarbone. The injury occurred during last week’s game against the Vikings, which left him with no choice but to sit out this week. In his place will be rookie quarterback Jordan, who was drafted by Green Bay in April. The decision was made after backup quarterback DeShone Kizer suffered a concussion during last week’s game.

What does this mean for Rodgers?

The injury to Rodgers is one that will keep him out of action until at least Week 12 of next season, according to ESPN reporter Adam Schefter. It’s possible that he could return sooner than that if he recovers quickly enough, but there’s no guarantee at this point.
