Despite not making a single throw in practice this week, quarterback Aaron Rodgers is prepared to start for the Green Bay Packers tomorrow at Seattle.

Coach Mike McCarthy said the team made a medical decision to keep Rodgers, who has a sprained right shoulder, from throwing in practice yesterday.

"Dr. (Pat) McKenzie in his evaluation this morning felt it was best for Aaron not to throw today. That's why his practice reps were limited," McCarthy said. "He'll be ready to go Sunday."

Rodgers was listed as probable on the Packers' injury report.

Rodgers made only a few throws in practice last week after suffering the injury Sept. 28 at Tampa Bay.

The first-year starter was cleared to play last Sunday a few hours before the Packers' home game against Atlanta and had one of his top performances this season. Rodgers completed 25 of 37 passes for 313 yards and three touchdowns with one interception in Green Bay's 27-24 loss.

"I feel like I'm going to be able to be good for Sunday," Rodgers said yesterday.

The extent of Rodgers' participation in practice the last few days was taking snaps in the jog-through portion at the outset and handing off to a running back or dropping back on a pass play but not making the throw.

BENGALS

QB PALMER WON'T START

Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis says quarterback Carson Palmer will not start tomorrow's game against the New York Jets because of a sore right elbow but that he could play.

Backup Ryan Fitzpatrick will get his second start of the season for the Bengals. He started against the Cleveland Browns two weeks ago, the week after Palmer injured his elbow in a loss to the New York Giants.

COWBOYS

JONES' REVIEW ONGOING

The NFL's review of Adam "Pacman" Jones' scuffle with his bodyguard won't be completed until next week.

The Dallas Cowboys had already said they won't discipline Jones, so that means the cornerback will play tomorrow at Arizona.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said in an e-mail yesterday that the league's review won't be completed until next week. He didn't provide a specific time.
