Rodgers should benefit from added snaps out of the backfield Sunday against the Packers with teammate Doug Martin (concussion) ruled out for the contest, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Rodgers might end up drawing the start, but Charles Sims will handle passing-down work and Peyton Barber also should have a role, which may include goal-line carries. Furthermore, the Buccaneers recently lost two offensive line starters to injury, just as they prepare to face a Green Bay defense that has mostly been vulnerable to the pass rather than the run this season. Martin hasn't been having much luck in his lead-back role, so there's not much reason to think his replacement will fare significantly better.
