The Facts: According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Rodgers was told this week that his injury could take up to a couple of months to heal. "He has a pretty unusual injury that would keep most people out awhile," the source told Schefter.
Diehards Line:
The star quarterback does not have any ligament damage, according to Schefter's source, who said the injury is more of a "compression injury from blunt force while bent." The Packers want to work out Rodgers this morning before making the final decision to let him start. All week long, players on both the Packers and Vikings have operated as if Rodgers would play. And all the reporting so far this morning (and late last night) indicates that will be the case. Now we'll be watching to see how the knee holds up against Minnesota and how the injury will impact Rodgers and the Packers offense going forward.
