GREEN BAY – Aaron Rodgers was back in the building on Tuesday as the Packers began preparations for next Monday’s game against the Detroit Lions.
While the two-time MVP quarterback remains out indefinitely after breaking his collarbone two weeks ago in Minnesota, Rodgers’ presence brought an immediate lift to the locker room as players returned from their bye week.
“It’s always good to have him here,” defensive tackle said. “He’s the leader of this team, so being able to see Aaron here and around us is always good.”
Head Coach Mike McCarthy told reporters on Tuesday morning Rodgers split his day between rehabbing his surgically repaired right collarbone and attending meetings with new starter Brett Hundley, his understudy for the past three seasons.
