Offense turns back to Richard Rodgers at tight end
Packers remain confident in third-year pro following Jared Cook's ankle injury
GREEN BAY — Nobody on the Packers’ sideline wanted to see Jared Cook exit in the second quarter of an eventual 34-27 win over Detroit two weeks ago.At the same time, no one in the offensive huddle blinked when Richard Rodgers jogged onto the field to replace the eighth-year veteran tight end.
After all, the Packers have been in this position before.
A year earlier, Rodgers was pressed into action after Andrew Quarless injured his knee against Kansas City in Week 3 and remained a focal point in the offense for the rest of the season.
