Aaron Rodgers suffers setback in knee rehab
The knee injury that preceded one of the greatest comebacks of Aaron Rodgers’ career continues to be a nagging issue for the veteran quarterback.
Rodgers told reporters Thursday he suffered a setback in his ongoing rehabilitation to full health. The incident occurred during Sunday’s loss to the Detroit Lions. Itt shouldn’t endanger his availability for Monday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers. However, could limit his mobility in the form of a bigger knee brace.

Since suffering a sprained knee in the season opener, Rodgers has habitually sat out the first day of practice. As a result, Thursday’s absence isn’t a surprise. What might be more surprising is that he suffered a setback in a game where he threw for 442 yards and three touchdowns — a performance that also was tainted by two strip-sack fumbles in combination with Mason Crosby’s five missed kicks.
At this point, Rodgers seems more concerned about having to wear a bulkier knee brace against the 49ers than anything else.
It remains to be seen if the latest development with Rodgers’ rehab will keep him out of practice Friday.
