Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said it took more than a month for his body to bounce back from the beating it took during the 2009 season in a radio interview he gave to WTMJ AM-620 Radio and host Bill Michaels this week. However, in explaining his current good health, Rodgers said, “I didn’t make a big deal about this, but I had some pretty substantial foot injuries throughout the season (and) sprained both feet at different times in the year.†Rodgers was never listed as worse than probable on an injury report – listed at midseason with foot, feet and rib injuries. Any interpretation of “substantial,†much less for a significant portion of the season, would lend one to believe that the Packers knew Rodgers was injured and weren’t completely forthcoming with how bad things were. The Rodgers injury admission isn’t going to be more than a ripple in the pond of offseason NFL news, but it is part of the unspoken NFL – regardless of how they are listed on the injury reports, players have injuries they play through and don’t want anyone to know about.

You know, a lineman could bite a finger off Rodgers, blood everywhere, children crying, women fainting, and if he didn't shake it off and go play he would be labeled injury prone by some packer fans just because of how long Favre played.
