GREEN BAY, Wis. — The one player the Green Bay Packers probably can’t afford to lose is out of Monday night’s game against the Chicago Bears with an injury to his non-throwing shoulder.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers landed on his left shoulder when he was sacked by Bears defensive end Shea McClellin on the game’s opening series.
Packers team physician Dr. Pat McKenzie spent several minutes examining Rodgers on the bench before taking him to the locker room for further examination.
Rodgers completed 1-of-2 passes on the opening drive, which resulted in a field goal. Seneca Wallace, signed by the Packers during the first week of the regular season, replaced Rodgers on the second series, a drive that ended in an interception.
With 6:54 left in the third quarter, Rodgers returned to the Packers’ sideline in street clothes and received a loud ovation from the crowd. Rodgers shook hands with coach Mike McCarthy.
Wallace is the only other quarterback on the Packers’ active roster.
