NFC North injury report, Week 9: Aaron Rodgers breaks collarbone

The Green Bay Packers lost to the Chicago Bears 27-20 on Monday night, but that is the least of their problems.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers was lost in the first quarter on a hit by Bears defensive end Shea McClellin, breaking Rodgers' collarbone. Early reports indicate Rodgers will be out for three weeks with the fracture, putting Green Bay's division and playoff hopes in peril.

On the other side, the Bears walked out of Lambeau Field not only with a win, but perfectly healthy. They even received word that Jay Cutler appears ready to return this Sunday against the Detroit Lions, who Chicago is tied with along with Green Bay atop the NFC North.

The Minnesota Vikings are having a dismal year at 1-7, and things are only getting uglier, per ESPN. Against the Dallas Cowboys, tight end Kyle Rudolph fractured his left foot, putting him out for a month. Offensive linemen Phil Loadholt (concussion), and Charlie Johnson also got dinged up. Defensive tackle Letroy Guion also hurt his right shoulder.

All three could miss some work this week, and their status for Thursday against the Washington Redskins is uncertain.
