On his weekly Tuesday radio show on ESPN Radio affiliates in Wisconsin, Rodgers confirmed specifics of his injury.
On his weekly Tuesday radio show on ESPN Radio affiliates in Madison and Milwaukee, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers confirmed he has a broken collarbone but said, as of yet, there is no timeline for return.
"(I) feel like I've been a quick healer in the past," said Rodgers. "Hopefully this will be on the short end."
Rodgers said he continues to undergo testing and was in a considerable amount of pain after his injury occurred during the Bears game on Monday.

From talking to a few people that I know that broke their collarbone's. I am guessing he will be out at least 1 month. If not more.
November 06, 2013 at 05:46 am
I have a doctor friend that told me the same thing.
November 05, 2013 at 01:48 pm
He said he "hopes" to play again this regular season?
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
November 05, 2013 at 01:55 pm
yeah, after listening to him. Honestly I have a bad feeling that he will be done for the year.

Brian, has McCarthy commented about not challenging the possible Quarless TD? (I know this is off topic). Thanks

No, his press conference is at 4:45 p.m. CT.

I think Packer fans are about to learn how the other half lives...

Yes Packer fans under 40 welcome to the 70's and the 80's (Whithurst, Sott Hunter,Randy Right,Dilweg,Blair Keil etc.
November 05, 2013 at 06:02 pm
at least Forrest Gregg isn't calling the plays
November 05, 2013 at 02:04 pm
Thanks , appreciate it. Go Pack Go!

Woodson had the same thing last year didn't he? Wasn't he out about 8 weeks or so?
As crazy as it sounds they should contact Brett Favre. He's the only guy out there and I guarantee you that he would love to come back and play for Green Bay. There's a reason St. Louis called him.
He could make up for all his wrongdoings by playing on a part time basis and helping his old team out. The fans would all forgive him. Win win!!

Woodson was out 10 weeks (counting the bye).
November 05, 2013 at 02:18 pm
Thanks Kenny!!

Favre was simply terrible in his last season of playing football. And that was before three years of football inactivity and aging. This would be a losing situation for all involved.
November 05, 2013 at 02:23 pm
No, it wouldn't. Favre is better than Wallace even at 44. He's an ugrade. He knows the offense from having played with McCarthy and he's played with Jordy, Jones and Finley.
As crazy as this sounds we now need qb where defenses have to at least respect "the threat of a pass". lol Good God, who would of thought that but it's true. Right now teams will play Lacy and Starks and laugh at our passing game. Favre will give us that for a month or so, Wallace won't.

November 05, 2013 at 02:28 pm
Finley and Nelson were drafted in 2008. Favre was in New York in 2008
November 05, 2013 at 02:33 pm
Yes, I realized that right after I posted it but couldn't edit it to change it. I figured you or Evan would correct it shortly and you did. Thanks. Still doesn't change my opinion. I want Favre back damnit!!
Longshanks
November 05, 2013 at 03:00 pm
i also want him back.
November 05, 2013 at 03:35 pm
a 44 yr. old favre to the packers is the most ridiculous idea since... well, since a 44 yr. old favre to the rams. and believe me, i know ridiculous. http://teawithstavrogin.blogspot.com/2013/11/mhem-happens-packers-signin...
i'm all for ridiculousness. i'm just also for maintaining the ability to distinguish it from reality.
November 05, 2013 at 08:41 pm
you do realize the have a rookie who never played in preseason backing an small 33yr old Wallace ,this team is done
November 05, 2013 at 03:37 pm
I think you guys are forgetting how terrible BLF was in 2010. I bet he couldn't make it through a month without getting injured himself.
The prodigal son will come home some day, but not like this.
November 05, 2013 at 08:45 pm
So you think Wallace will last?With a rookie backup who didn't play in the preseason
November 05, 2013 at 08:51 pm
I'm not saying that Wallace is a wonderful option, just that calling BLF is a terrible idea.
November 05, 2013 at 08:57 pm
What "rookie backup" do you keep talking about?
November 05, 2013 at 03:42 pm
That's about as likely as signing Richie Incognito to fill in for TJ Lang.
November 05, 2013 at 08:41 pm
well, it depends on the severity and location of the fracture. woodson's fracture was really bad so he was out for a while. the packer's are pretty secretive about their injuries so we can only speculate how bad aaron's fracture is. best case i believe is about 3 weeks
November 05, 2013 at 02:21 pm
I heard they already contacted Favre how true it is would be anyone guess.
November 05, 2013 at 02:22 pm
They sure will not make it with Seneca, were done for the year something many of us feared could happen.
November 05, 2013 at 02:38 pm
Only hope is that our Defense steps up, we eek at five more wins, squeak into the playoffs at 10-6 and #12 comes back toward the end of the season or for the playoffs.
Worst MNF football game ever.
November 05, 2013 at 02:41 pm
I hadn't had that little fun watching a Packer game since the fail mary...
November 05, 2013 at 02:25 pm
The Packers, like it or not, will not rush him back on the field. These injuries can be recurring if not healed completely. I've seen players have this happen several times to them after the first time.
November 05, 2013 at 02:35 pm
ARod is done for 2013, sucks but that is life in the big leagues.
Should be interesting to see just how talented the rest of the roster is without the player I consider to be the best in the NFL.
November 05, 2013 at 02:47 pm
Kenny, what am I missing? Did Rodgers try to sign up for Obamacare on the Affordable Care Website for collarbone treatment options and it's still not working or what? If I recall, Obama is a Bears fan. Hmm

We lost the one guy we can't win without. We could end up with a decent safety though with the good pick we will get in the draft....wow I still hate life.
November 05, 2013 at 08:47 pm
Any way Jacksonville can win 6 game cause the Pack won't
November 05, 2013 at 03:05 pm
It can't be understated how shitty it is to have significant injuries to our two marquee players immediately AFTER we gave them a boatload of money. So unfortunate. I guess with these two guys maybe it doesn't really matter. If these injuries had happened last year, is there any way their contracts would be slightly less gigantic (not that they aren't deserved)? anyone know?
November 05, 2013 at 03:39 pm
it really is astounding that even in the worst of all possible circumstances, you guys are still totally overdoing the doom and gloom.
WE ARE NOT VIKINGS, JETS or BEARS FANS. say it with me. get down off the ledge.
November 05, 2013 at 04:26 pm
We are not Vikings, Jets, or Bears fans. Except that the Bares fans are in heaven right now.
November 05, 2013 at 03:40 pm
It's crazy how I thought before the game that the ONLY way the Bears would beat us if they took out Rodgers and look what happened. As I'm looking through the remaining schedule; WTF is (seems like) everyone panicking? The next 5 are winnable! The offense will have to change a bit,but let's not act like we've seen the '11 or even the '10 Packers recently! This defense will have to carry this team (which they have before) to at least 3-4 games. Hopefully the Pack are still in the NFC-North hunt within the next 4-5 weeks. Let's see what this team is made of.
November 05, 2013 at 04:54 pm
I've argued in the past, that we might actually benefit from just such a scenario as this.
Aaron, imo, has a tendency to stat whore. With an injury situation like this, we will be forced to adhere to fundamentals.
No holding the ball 8 seconds, no passing up open guys to throw deep. No ignoring time of possession.
ADHERE TO FUNDAMENTALS. That is the real formula for success. The last time we were in this position was in '10. We had to win our last 5 games just to make the playoffs. FUNDAMENTALS.
But this team only adheres to them when they are forced to do so.
Who's with me?

Nerd I posted Blutos famous Germans bombed Pearl Harbor speech online during the game when the Packers were losing and alot of people loved it. You by chance didn't get your inspiration to post this from me did you? I loved that video. One of the best speeches of all time.
Also I posted a joke something from Braveheart regarding Longshanks and "Wallace" having battles in the past that everyone in the world got except.. you guessed it, Jayme Stowden who was clueless. lol Some guy had to explain it to her. Hilarious.

Keep Nerd out of this Pointed Pecker. Yes, he said some sexist things last night but he was just joking around. For the most part he's an ok guy. Getting real tired of you and this sexist crap. We are here to talk football jackass!! Stick to football or leave!! and for the love of God quit stalking me.

next you'll want to go back to a straight on kicker. None of this fancy kicking from the side crap.

Only if Crosby's stat whoring!
No one was accusing him of THAT last year. LOL

McCarthy on Rodgers' injury not being season-ending: "I"m relieved, no doubt. With the new information given today, everyone felt better."
November 05, 2013 at 06:01 pm
Woodson took longer to come back because hitting and tackling put more strain on a collar bone. AR can come sooner , just hope he doesn't get hit the same way.

Well my expectations for the remainder of this season came crashing down shortly after Rodgers did. But, as always, I'll watch and hope for the best from my beloved Packers. A lot less stress from now on. If they win it all fantastic. If they don't, well the Fates were against us.
Maybe we'll be lucky and ARod will be back in a few weeks. In the mean time, I will be interested to see how the rest of the team performs. I'm probably one of the few who watch exhibition games to see how the second and third teamers perform. We'll have to see how they perform with real bullets flying.
It's amazing how many of McGinn's preseason topped ranked players are either currently out or will have missed significant time this year. Numbers 1 thru 3,6,8,9,12,13,17 & 23 through just a half of the season. Yet, here they are, tied for first in the division. How long they can stay in it will be interesting.
If things don't shake out this year at least they have a great core of players to start over with next year. And maybe the Fates will be kind then.
November 06, 2013 at 06:29 am
This is the scenario we all have been dreading. TT and MM for not identifying and having a quality back-up QB. It was discussed at length in Pre-season, but because as fans were spoiled with the fact BLF and Aaron hardly ever missed significant time in almost 20 years.
Hopefully the season isn't lost (I Stil think we can make playoffs, but nothing else) and Packer Management will learn a lesson.
Go Pack
November 06, 2013 at 08:22 am
Generally speaking, the team that doesn't suffer a significant drop off between the starting QB and his backup has a crappy starting QB.
November 06, 2013 at 07:09 am
Also, MM better look at an uptempo play calling style. The Bears didn't fear Wallace throwing, sure that other teams won't either.
Uptempo, quick passes mixed with a run game. Kinda like NE (except we have a running game)
