I'm thinking a sprained AC joint.A sprained collarbone?Now I'm no doctor, but I've seen similar shoulder injuries and even had one myself when I played in HS. Here's my uneducated opinion:
If it is indeed broken, wouldn't they have been able to diagnosis that from the x-rays? I remember in HS when our QB broke his collarbone, he was in serious pain and they put his shoulder in a sling right away. Rodgers ran off the field w/o favoring his shoulder and then came back on the field later sans sling.
Now I could be completely wrong, but I don't think it's broken (or at least hope for my fantasy teams sake). I think he probably has a sprain or maybe tiny fracture. If it's a sprain, he could play through it. Brady played through a similar injury and I believe Rodgers has already played through a sprain. I guess we'll know more today. But I don't think it's as severe as some others.
Favre just did. It says 'Watch this'.Anyone know Rodgers? Send him a text!
they still need another QB, Wallace n Rodgers were it on the roster.And wasn't Flynn cast offed by how many teams? Flynn is not the answer and probably is no better then Wallace.
Maybe but then again maybe not.And wasn't Flynn cast offed by how many teams? Flynn is not the answer and probably is no better then Wallace.
A Packers source tells ESPN's Ed Werder that Aaron Rodgers' injury "doesn't look good."
The swelling in Rodgers' non-throwing shoulder/collarbone prevented an exact diagnosis Monday night. He's headed for a Tuesday MRI. Werder asked his source if Rodgers could miss the rest of the regular season, and got a "possibly, but they need to see more" response. Fantasy owners need to be making other Week 10 plans as they prepare to put in waiver claims Tuesday. Even in a best-case scenario, it doesn't sound like Rodgers will be playing against the Eagles.
I think most everyone would be happy with thatESPN SportsCenter - Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has small fracture in collarbone, could miss 3 weeks, sources tell ESPN
unfortunately the teams they play will be loading the boxThis team is now a run first team.
I sent him a tweet but he hasn't respondedAnyone know Rodgers? Send him a text!
On the non-throwing arm, he wouldn't be out long if this is the case.I'm thinking a sprained AC joint.A sprained collarbone?Now I'm no doctor, but I've seen similar shoulder injuries and even had one myself when I played in HS. Here's my uneducated opinion:

The first sentence is probably true (especially if it's not a fractured collar bone). The second sentence is also true...if it isn't a fractured collar bone. There are two concerns if it is indeed a fractured collar bone:I can live with him being out only 3 weeks. The good news I guess is that this isn't his throwin shoulder so it shouldn't have too much of an effect on him going forward.
Clipped from the other Aaron Rodgers injury thread.A Packers source tells ESPN's Ed Werder that Aaron Rodgers' injury "doesn't look good."

Please never mention the two in the same sentence again. Even as a Bears fan, I feel bad for Rodgers, as he is a great talent and seems to be a stand up and decent guy. I have nothing but respect for a guy that plays the most important position in all of spots and does it the right way.does this effect the payout from the tweet bet he made about Ryan Braun?
Well if they go by playoff race, they're going to need him. The NFC North and NFC in general are wide open. Detroit, GB, and Chicago are all 5-3. For the WC spot, it's between 2 of those teams SF (6-2), Carolina (5-3), Arizona (4-4), and maybe even Philly (4-5). So they can't afford to sit him if he's healthy.FF Wiseguy said:Tony Romo broke his non-throwing clavicle in week 6 in 2010, and did not return in the regular season. But the hit he took was much worse than Rodgers, so it's easy to believe it's less severe than Romo's. But I'm not believing the three week rumors. Feels like when Cobb first got hurt, and they were saying 2-3 weeks, then put him on IR/return the same night.
My lone source of hope is the fact that he wasn't wearing a sling when he came out. I'd say a month minimum before they even consider bringing him back, and the team's standing in the playoff race will play a big part on whether or not they bring him back during regular season. Obviously, Rodgers is a competitive guy who will lobby to get back on the field ASAP, but it's not a pain management issue. As posted above, if they don't let it fully heal, it's just going to get re-broken.
A lot can change in 3-4 weeks, especially with Seneca Wallace as your QB. What would have been a 3-1 or possibly 4-0 stretch now becomes dicey:Well if they go by playoff race, they're going to need him. The NFC North and NFC in general are wide open.

Well that's why I said if he's healthy. I don't think you rush him back if he's not ready. But if you're the Packers, you can't afford to let him sit if he's at or really close to 100%.A lot can change in 3-4 weeks, especially with Seneca Wallace as your QB.

If they can find a way to split, then yes, get him back the moment he's close to ready. But if it's week 14, and they're sitting 2 games out of a playoff spot, then why risk him if the collarbone's not 100% healed? Like I said, if it were up to him, he'd come back when he's at 80%. But they have to be smarter than that with him.
I think this type of injury doesn't have as much long-term risk as RG3's knee, but there are some lessons to be learned there. And it's not like this is a line that keeps Rodgers untouched back there. He's been one of the most sacked QBs in football the last three years.
I guess we can take that as a good thing? Can someone provide us with updates from this?Word is that Rodgers will have his normal weekly radio show today at 1:30pm central time. Who knows what, if anything, he'll reveal but you can stream at espnmilwaukee.com if you were so inclined
...my body is readyMy buddy from Appleton WI was at the airport today for a business trip, he heard Favre was in the airport just a few minutes before he got to the terminal.
The Lions game is huge for them. If they go 1-2 (beat the Vikings) that puts them at 6-5 but still having a shot at the division if they beat the Lions.Well if they go by playoff race, they're going to need him.

Yeah, but he was on his way to Minnesota just to stick it to the Packers.My buddy from Appleton WI was at the airport today for a business trip, he heard Favre was in the airport just a few minutes before he got to the terminal.
more like 6.3 weeks?So what exactly is a "little while"?

Why do you keep knocking Schefter? The information he initially reported about Randall Cobb soon after his injury was information was the same information being leaked by sources in Green Bay. Schefter does a good job.According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Aaron Rodgers (collarbone) could be sidelined about three weeks.
Initial tests showed a small fracture in Rodgers' collarbone. Per Schefter, the Packers don't want to make any official determination until their quarterback undergoes even more testing Tuesday. But if this three-week timetable proves accurate, Rodgers would target the Week 13 Thanksgiving game against the Lions for his return. It's a blessing for fantasy owners, as he'd be back for the fantasy playoffs. The Packers sound like they'll stick with Seneca Wallace as their interim starter despite his woeful Monday Night relief performance. They essentially chose Wallace over old friend Matt Flynn earlier this season. Scott Tolzien is on the Packers' practice squad.
3 weeks isn't bad... oh wait its Schefy
Next update
ESPN's Rob Demovsky confirms Aaron Rodgers has been diagnosed with a broken collarbone, and that "it's going to be a little while" before he returns.
A "little while" is as unscientific as it gets, but Demovsky's colleague Adam Schefter reported earlier Tuesday that Rodgers is expected to miss in the neighborhood of three weeks with a "small fracture." At least going by the vague language, we still don't have an exact diagnosis, but Rodgers can be safely ruled out for Week 10, and likely Weeks 11 and 12, as well. It's a massive downgrade for the Packers' entire offense. With Seneca Wallace under center, Jordy Nelson and Eddie Lacy will be the Packers' only worthwhile fantasy options for Week 10. James Jones is a WR4.
Hes pretty much done for the FF season
