The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... Less than a month after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his left knee, Rodgers is back playing golf and says the knee feels "great."
Diehards Line:
As previously noted, Rodgers has spent the past week as a celebrity participant in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Rodgers said he had a “scope” performed on his knee soon after the Packers’ 26-20 overtime loss Jan. 16 at Arizona in the NFC divisional playoffs. Asked if the knee was injured on any particular play during the Packers’ 10-6 regular season and two-game postseason run, Rodgers said, “No, it wasn’t a moment. It was for a clean-up of an old injury.” Rodgers, 32, said the knee was holding up just fine after playing his first full 18 holes of golf since July during Thursday’s first round. “It was just good to be out there walking normally,” Rodgers said. “It feels great. It’s nice to not have any clunking around or anything, so it was good. ..." We'll follow up as needed, but it sounds like the minor procedure won't be an issue when OTAs begin.
