Like Superman returning from the grave, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is one step closer to returning to save the Packers’ playoff hopes.

It’s been a long, and at times stressful, eight weeks for the Packers as they’ve fought to keep their head above water ever since Rodgers went down with a broken collarbone back in Week 6 against the Vikings.

At the time, Green Bay was 4-1, sitting atop the NFC North, but have gone just 3-5 in Rodgers’s absence.

His return couldn’t come at a better time. With Green Bay narrowly escaping an embarrassing defeat last week against the win-less Cleveland Browns, the Pack will look to Rodgers to guide them to the Promised Land.

See how Twitter reacted to the news.
