Rodgers suffered the injury on the opening drive of Monday’s game. He was hoping to make a return to the game, but came back out on the field in street clothes in the second half. Rodgers got emotional describing the injury and his absence from the game.
Rodgers choked up talking about walking back on the field post injury. "That was one of the top five moments of my career."

Seneca Wallace replaced Rodgers in the game and is the likely starter going forward. The Packers' only other quarterback on the roster is Scott Tolzien, who is on the practice squad. Green Bay may sign a veteran free agent to provide depth while Rodgers is out.
