Aaron Rodgers returned to practice as a limited participant Thursday ahead of the latest installment of the Vikings-Packers rivalry.

Rodgers missed Wednesday’s practice with right thumb and knee issues.
Packers head coach Matt LaFluer told Wisconsin media that Christian Watson would be back at practice Thursday on a limited basis, but he did not wind up practicing because of a hip injury he suffered Sunday in Miami. Explosive kick returner Keisean Nixon (groin) also missed a second straight practice.
