GREEN BAY, Wis. --- Whether Green Bay Packers starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers plays Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons at Lambeau Field will be a game-time decision.

"Honestly," Rodgers said Friday, "I don't know."

Rodgers, who dislocated his right (throwing) shoulder when he was tackled from behind while stretching for a first down during a third-quarter scramble against Tampa Bay last Sunday, threw for the first time all week on Friday.

If Rodgers doesn't start, he'll be the emergency No. 3 quarterback behind Matt Flynn and fellow rookie Brian Brohm , Green Bay head coach Mike McCarthy said.

PANTHERS: The NFL fined defensive end Julius Peppers $10,000 for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan .

EAGLES: Brian Westbrook was a full participant in practice for the first time in two weeks and appears likely to play Sunday.

SEAHAWKS: Deion Branch will start on Sunday, eight months after the veteran receiver had reconstructive knee surgery.

REDSKINS: Shawn Springs (calf), Jason Taylor (calf) and Stephon Heyer (shoulder) all sat out practice again, although coach Jim Zorn held out hope Springs would be able to play Sunday against the Eagles.

SAINTS: Top draft pick Sedrick Ellis will be lost for two to four weeks with a right knee injury.

RAVENS: Starting cornerback Samari Rolle underwent neck surgery this week and will be out at least a month.

JAGUARS: Safety Reggie Nelson (knee) and cornerback Drayton Florence (groin) will miss Sunday night's game.

SENTENCED: Former star Lawrence Phillips was sentenced to 10 years in prison, two years after he was convicted of assault with a deadly weapon.

The 31-year-old former running back drove onto a field and his car struck two boys, ages 14 and 15, and a 19-year-old man.
