Isaiah Rodgers Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Vikings vs Packers game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Oct 31, 2025
Cleared to play vs. Detroit
Rodgers (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers popped up on Wednesday's injury report due to a shoulder injury, but he was able to shed an injury tag for Week 9 after logging a full practice Friday. The 2020 sixth-rounder is the only defensive player in the NFL this season who has scored a touchdown on a fumble recovery and an interception, and his 26 tackles through seven regular-season games matches his total across 15 contests with the Eagles in 2024.

Lands on injury report
Rodgers (shoulder) was limited in practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers turned in a solid effort in Thursday's loss to the Chargers, though he likely suffered the injury in the contest. He is a key part of the Minnesota secondary, so his status for the rest of the week will be worth monitoring ahead of a Week 9 showdown against Detroit.
Oct 24, 2025
Posts five stops in loss Thursday
Rodgers recorded five tackles (all solo) in a Week 8 loss to the Chargers on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers nearly had a much bigger performance, but what initially appeared to be a first-quarter pick-six was deemed incomplete upon review. Rodgers did, however, manage to tie his season-high mark in tackles.
Sep 30, 2025
Blocks kick in Week 4 loss
Rodgers blocked a field-goal try and recorded two tackles (one solo) in Sunday's loss to the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers made a key special-teams play in the second quarter when he blocked a 30-yard field-goal try by Chris Boswell. Through four weeks, Rodgers has totaled 14 tackles, two defensed passes (including an interception) and two forced fumbles while scoring two TDs.
Sep 22, 2025
Scores two TDs in record performance
Rodgers returned an interception for a touchdown, returned a fumble for a touchdown, had three total tackles, two passes defensed and forced two fumbles in Sunday's win over the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers had one of the greatest individual defensive player games in history as he was the first Vikings defensive player to score two touchdowns in a game. He also earned a perfect 99.9 Pro Football Focus grade, the highest for any player since 2006. While the touchdown returns may have been fluky, his stellar play in coverage and forcing fumbles is a trend that should continue.
Sep 12, 2025
Cleared to play Sunday
Rodgers (elbow) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday night's game against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers popped up on the injury report as limited Thursday, but he's fine for Sunday night's date with Drake London and Darnell Mooney. Rodgers started at cornerback in Week 1 and played all 67 defensive snaps against the Bears.
Sep 11, 2025
Pops up as limited Thursday
Rodgers (elbow) was limited in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers wasn't listed on the Vikings' injury report Wednesday. Mid-week additions to the injury report are rarely a good sign, but perhaps Rodgers will be able to get in a full session Friday. Rodgers started at cornerback in Week 1 and played all 67 defensive snaps against the Bears. With Jeff Okudah (concussion) also dealing with an injury, the Vikings' cornerback depth would be tested against Atlanta if neither can play Sunday night.
Sep 10, 2025
Five tackles in Vikings debut
Rodgers had five total tackles and a tackle for a loss in Monday's win at Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers started at cornerback opposite Bryon Murphy and played on all of the defense's 67 snaps. It was his first game for Minnesota after playing 15 regular-season games with the Eagles in 2024 while working at the team's top reserve cornerback.
Mar 10, 2025
Agrees to terms with Minnesota
The Vikings are in line to ink Rodgers to a two-year, $15 million contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers suited up for 15 regular-season games with the Eagles in 2024 while working at the team's top reserve cornerback. He tallied 26 tackles (17 solo) and four pass defenses in those contests, while also notching six tackles (five solo) and three passes defended in four playoff appearances. He brings to Minnesota an ability to shore up cornerback depth while also contributing in the return game.

Logs 26 stops with Philly in 2024
Rodgers tallied 26 tackles (17 solo) and four pass defenses across 15 regular-season appearances in 2024. He tacked on six tackles (five solo) and three passes defended across four playoff games.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers signed with the Eagles in August of 2023 but missed the entire 2023 campaign due to a suspension for violating the NFL's gambling policy. The 27-year-old served as the top reserve cornerback while also contributing on special in every game he played in 2024. Meanwhile, rookie cornerbacks Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean stepped into starting roles alongside veteran Darius Slay. Rodgers is slated to become a restricted free agent this offseason.
Nov 3, 2024
Starting Sunday
Rodgers will make his first start of the season at cornerback in Sunday's matchup with the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
With Darius Slay (groin) sidelined, Rodgers will get the start opposite Quinyon Mitchell at cornerback. The 26-year-old spent the week taking notes as part of his weekly preparation for the opportunity. He has not seen more than 21 defensive snaps (40 percent) in any game this season.
Sep 12, 2024
Full go for Thursday's practice
Rodgers (hand) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers was held out of the Eagles' Week 1 win over the Packers due to a hand injury, which he revealed was a fracture that he suffered on the last day of training camp that required surgery, per Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com. His full participation in Thursday's session sets the stage for him to suit up Monday against the Falcons, after he was inactive for the Eagles' Week 1 win over the Packers in Brazil. He'll be making his Eagles debut this weekend, as Rodgers signed with Philadelphia last August but was ineligible to compete while serving a season-long suspension for violating the NFL's gambling policy. He previously appeared in 15 games for the Colts in 2022, registering 34 tackles (24 solo), three pass breakups, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
Sep 5, 2024
Ruled out for Friday night
Rodgers (hand) was ruled out for Friday night's Week 1 opener against the Packers in Brazil.
ANALYSIS
After being suspended the entirety of the 2024 season for gambling, Rodgers won a job with the Eagles this summer but will have to wait to make his debut with the team. Rodgers is expected to fill a depth role in the secondary while handling kick return duties this season. Kenneth Gainwell could slot into returner work versus Green Bay.
Sep 3, 2024
Limited in Practice
Rodgers (hand) was a limited participant in Philadelphia's practice Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers is currently dealing with a hand injury but will look to be good to go for the team's opener versus the Eagles on Friday. If he ends up being unable to play, Kenneth Gainwell will likely serve as the team's primary kick returner.
Jun 25, 2024
Showing no rust
Rodgers, who missed the entire 2023 season due to a suspension for violating the NFL's gambling policy, has been one of Philadelphia's most impressive players this offseason, Tim McManus of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers doesn't seem to have slowed down at all despite being a year removed from the NFL field, with teammate A.J. Brown saying "he's flying around, and he's going to do special stuff for us this year." McManus reports that Rodgers will be in position to compete for a starting spot at outside corner opposite Darius Slay during training camp, primarily vying with Kelee Ringo and rookie first-round pick Quinyon Mitchell for the role.
Apr 23, 2024
Restrictions lifted
Rodgers was reinstated by the NFL on Tuesday after he was suspended for the 2023 season for violating the NFL's gambling policy, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers was originally suspended in June of 2023 after making bets on NFL games, which led to him being waived by the Colts. Despite the suspension, the UMass product inked a new deal with the Eagles two months later. With his suspension lifted, Rodgers will now be able to participate in all team activities for the first time since he signed with Philadelphia.
Aug 28, 2023
Signed by Eagles
Rodgers (suspension) signed with the Eagles on Monday, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers is suspended for the 2023 season for gambling on NFL games, including bets placed on his own team. Prior to the suspension, he was expected to take on a starting cornerback role for Indianapolis. The Eagles have clearly made this signing with their eyes on the future, as the 25-year-old will likely have an impact right away in 2024. Until then, he will spend the 2023 season on the reserve/suspension list.
Jun 29, 2023
Cut following gambling ban
The Colts waived Rodgers on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
On Thursday, Rodgers was officially suspended indefinitely for gambling on NFL games, including bets placed on his own team, and the Colts apparently were ready to cut him once the yearlong ban was announced by the league. The 25-year-old was initially expected to take over as a starting cornerback in Indy this year, but his career is now hanging in the balance. We won't see Rodgers again until at least the 2024 season. Rodgers started nine games on defense last season and has played close to 1,000 snaps over the last two years.
Jun 29, 2023
Suspended for at least 2023 season
Rodgers has been suspended indefinitely by the NFL -- through at least the 2023 season -- for betting on NFL games last season, ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers made upwards of 100 bets on NFL games, including one on the Colts, according to the ESPN report. Rodgers acknowledged the violations earlier this month on a social media post where he said he made an error in judgement. The 25-year-old, who is recovering from a knee injury sustained back in December, looked primed for a starting cornerback role following Indianapolis' offseason trade of Stephon Gilmore to Dallas.
Jun 28, 2023
Season-long suspension expected
Rodgers (knee) is one of a number of players expected to receive season-long suspensions for possible violations of the NFL's gambling policy, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers' suspension hasn't yet been officially confirmed, but it appears that he's in danger of missing the entire 2023 campaign. The details surrounding his alleged violation of the league's gambling policy, and the other players involved, haven't yet been revealed. The 25-year-old, who is recovering from a knee injury sustained back in December, looked primed for a starting cornerback role following Indianapolis' offseason trade of Stephon Gilmore to Dallas. Now, however, it looks like rookie second-round pick Julius Brents (wrist) may need to step up for a notable role once back to full health himself.
Jun 6, 2023
Subject of NFL gambling investigation
The NFL is investigating Rodgers for possible violations of the league's gambling policy, ESPN reports. "I made an error in judgment and I am going to work hard to make sure that those mistakes are rectified through this process," Rodgers said via Twitter. Rodgers was also working his way back from a late 2022 season knee injury.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers could face a lengthy suspension as a result, but details of his exact violation are not clear. He was a leading candidate for a starting cornerback role after the trade of Stephon Gilmore to Dallas.
Dec 28, 2022
Moves to injured reserve
The Colts placed Rodgers (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers is now slated to miss the remainder of the 2022-23 campaign as a result of the knee injury he sustained in Monday's loss to the Chargers. With Kenny Moore (ankle) currently listed as questionable for Week 17, Brandon Facyson and Tony Brown are in line for additional secondary reps behind Stephon Gilmore.
Dec 26, 2022
Injures knee Monday
Rodgers suffered a knee injury during Monday's 20-3 loss to the Chargers, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
While breaking up a deep pass from Justin Herbert to Joshua Palmer early in the second half, Rodgers sustained the injury and was promptly ruled out for the rest of Week 16, leaving him with just one assisted tackle for the game. His next chance to suit up is next Sunday at the Giants.
Nov 20, 2022
Suiting up for Indy
Rodgers (illness) is active Week 11 against the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
An illness that's been going around the team had prevented Rodgers from taking the practice field for multiple days this week, but he'll end up healthy enough to suit up. Look for Rodgers to likely resume his regular kick return duties, in addition to being present on the field in five-DB sets.
Sep 8, 2022
Full participant in practice
Rodgers (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, 107.5 FM The Fan Indianapolis reports.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers suffered a concussion in Indy's first preseason game, but was back to full speed Wednesday. He enters the season as Indy's primary kick returner and backup cornerback.
Aug 13, 2022
Suffers concussion
Rodgers entered the concussion protocol Saturday after exiting Indianapolis' preseason game against the Bills with a head injury, Alexa Ross of CBS 4 Indy reports.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers appeared to suffer a head injury after coming down with an interception during the first half of Saturday exhibition game, according to Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star. The 24-year-old cornerback registered 49 tackles, seven passes defended and three interceptions over 17 regular-season games with Indianapolis last season, so the team may be overly cautious in handling his health over the remainder of the preseason.
Aug 13, 2022
Suffers head injury
Rodgers came out of Saturday's preseason game against Buffalo to be evaluated for a potential head injury, Joel reports.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers went down with an apparent head injury, and he is now questionable to return Saturday after he was seen walking to Indianapolis' locker Atkins reports. In his absence, cornerbacks Marvell Tell, Tony Brown and Anthony Chesley should see increased snaps against the Bills.
Dec 1, 2021
Picks off Brady
Rodgers recorded two tackles along with an interception in Sunday's 38-31 loss to Tampa Bay.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers tallied his second interception of the season as he picked off Tom Brady's deep pass intended for Scotty Miller early in the second quarter. The younger corner also deflected a pass, increasing his pass deflection streak to three games. Rodgers and the Colts defense get a much easier matchup next Sunday against a subpar Texans offense.
Nov 17, 2021
Off injury report
Rodgers (undisclosed) wasn't listed on the Colts' injury report Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers was forced to exit the Colts' Week 10 contest early after suffering from cramps. The cornerback managed to practice Wednesday and will be able to play in Week 11 barring any setbacks. Expect Rodgers to return kicks and fill a reserve role for the Colts' secondary against the Bills on Sunday.
Nov 14, 2021
Questionable to return
Rodgers (undisclosed) is questionable to return Sunday against the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers was dealing with cramps and that forced him to leave the game, but he was later seen on the stationary bike and might return before the end of the contest. If he doesn't, then T.J. Carrie or Kenny Moore would operate as his replacement.
Nov 14, 2021
Starting at cornerback
Rodgers will start Sunday against the Jaguars, according to Stephen Holder of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
The Colts won't have Xavier Rhodes (calf) for a second straight game, and this means Rodgers will get the start at cornerback. It's a great opportunity for the young corner, as the Jaguars have one of the worst offenses in the league this season.
Sep 14, 2021
Limited role on defense
Rodgers had one tackle and played six snaps on defense in Sunday's loss to Seattle. He had two kick returns for 41 yards.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers will have a reserve role in the secondary and may be limited to special teams when Xavier Rhodes returns from a calf injury. He'll work as Indy's primary kickoff returner.
Dec 2, 2020
Ready to rock
Rodgers (knee) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers was unable to suit up in last week's loss to the Titans due to the knee issue, but he appears on track to return in Week 13. Now that Rodgers appears fully healthy, he'll look to take over as the team's kick return man, while providing depth at cornerback.
Nov 29, 2020
Can't go Sunday
Rodgers (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers started the practice week as a full participant and entered the weekend without an injury tag. However, he was added Saturday as questionable, and now he's inactive for Week 12. Tremon Smith may return kicks for the Colts on Sunday with Rodgers out of the equation.
Nov 28, 2020
Listed as questionable
Rodgers (knee) is considered questionable for Sunday's tilt against the Titans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers was not on the team's original injury report released Friday, but rather added on Saturday. He missed last week's game due to a knee issue but was a full participant at practice this week. His status will now need to be monitored heading into kickoff.
Nov 25, 2020
Practices at full speed
Rodgers (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers is on track to return to the lineup after missing just one game. While the rookie sixth-rounder rarely contributes on defense, Rodgers has been the team's primary kick returner this year, averaging 29.8 yards per return and scoring a touchdown back in Week 5.
Nov 22, 2020
Inactive Week 11
Rodgers (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against Green Bay.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers popped up on the injury report Friday with the knee issue and won't be available Week 11. The Colts will need to find a replacement in the return game for the 22-year-old.
Nov 20, 2020
Knee injury surfaces
Rodgers (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers wasn't listed on Indianapolis' injury report until Friday, when he missed practice entirely. If he can't suit up against Green Bay on Sunday, the Colts will have to decide on a replacement for kick returns.
Oct 13, 2020
Returns kickoff for TD
Rodgers had a 101-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in Sunday's loss at Cleveland. He had five kick returns for an average of 42.4 yards.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers played 13 snaps on special teams and wasn't used on defense. He's played just 36 snaps on defense this season, but his electric speed has found him a role on special teams as the kick returner.
Sep 20, 2020
Set for NFL debut
Rodgers (leg) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Rodgers came into the game designated as questionable after dealing with the leg injury at the tail end of training camp. Now healthy, the 2020 sixth-round pick could handle some return duties, but will certainly operate in a depth role on defense.
Aug 26, 2020
Resumes practicing
Rodgers (leg) participated in Wednesday's practice, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.
ANALYSIS
Rogers missed over a week of practice due to a leg injury, but he'll now resume competing for a reserve gig. The rookie sixth-round pick could need to stand out on special teams in order to earn a roster spot.
Aug 18, 2020
Misses practice Tuesday
Rodgers did not practice Tuesday due to a leg injury, Joel A. Erickson of the Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
The severity of Rodgers' injury remains undisclosed, but he'll no doubt work to resume practicing as soon as possible. The rookie sixth-round pick could compete for a reserve gig at slot corner if he's able to garner enough reps in training camp.
