The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... HC Mike McCarthy said he expects Rodgers, who underwent a knee scope shortly after the season, to be ready for OTAs in April. " I would think so. The way he's hitting the golf ball, I would think he'd be ready to go."

Diehards Line: McCarthy said he did not believe there would be any limitations on his quarterback. Although Rodgers never made mention of his knee issues during the season, McCarthy said he knew postseason surgery was a possibility but that it rarely impacted his performance. "At times, it may have adjusted a direction or two in a game or two, just kind of the way you went," McCarthy said. "But he never complained about it. It didn't surprise me that he needed to get surgery. He's played a lot of football."
