Packers QB Aaron Rodgers leaves game with apparent left leg injury

GREEN BAY, Wis. - Aaron Rodgers stood up, tried to put weight on his left leg and then crumbled back to the ground.

The Green Bay Packers quarterback finally walked off Lambeau Field under his own power but after nearly 10 minutes in the sideline examination tent, the team's medical staff carted him to the locker room midway through the second quarter of Sunday night's season opener against the Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field.

That's the same knee in which Rodgers tore his ACL in high school - an injury that wasn't surgically repaired until college.
