1. Can Aaron Rodgers stay healthy?
This is the biggest storyline of all to watch during the 2018 NFL season. Rodgers’ health and the Packers’ success are directly correlated with one another.
After he broke his collarbone against the Minnesota Vikings last season, Green Bay had hopes of staying in the playoff race long enough until Rodgers returned. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to do so as one loss to the Carolina Panthers in his comeback eliminated them from playoff contention.
With Rodgers on the field, however, Green Bay is a legit playoff contender and can rise to the level of Super Bowl contender if some of their pieces fall into place. Hopefully, the former MVP can stay on his feet this season and start all 16 games for the green and gold.
