Wearing Knee Brace, Rodgers Returns For Packers
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers was sore. It wasn’t just his left knee that hurt.
His mobility limited while wearing a brace on his injured knee, the star quarterback for the Green Bay Packers said he got punched in the eye during a sack. He absorbed a couple other shots, too.
Once the game started Sunday, the adrenaline kicked in. The ending was kind of a downer for the two-time NFL MVP.
Rodgers was 30 of 42 for 281 yards and a touchdown, but the Packers played to a 29-29 draw with the Minnesota Vikings after giving up a 13-point lead in the fourth quarter.
“Close to an ‘L.’ It doesn’t feel great,” Rodgers said about the tie.
