I thought it was reported numerous times it was a strain or sprain, not a full separation?

---

It was. It was "officially" i guess a shoulder strain. Its true im sure, that someone could not play with a seperated shoulder. You couldnt throw! But the facts in this case are not right. His shoulder was never seperated. Not even in the game when he hurt it..

Ummm, why does it really matter??? He was in pain and he played well.


I really don't see why someone would even waste their time typing this . . although I'm not sure who actually said it . .

Dr. Z from CNNSI.com

Dr. Z is a moron, and an arsehole on top of it.

There are different degrees of severity with shoulder separations, and they're categorized into 6 types. If no tearing occurred to the ligaments, it is a type I separation, or strain. It's still painful, and it's recommended that you rest it in a sling for a while, but not absolutely necessary. I had one from karate and my teacher misdiagnosed it for me, so I went 2 weeks throwing punches/doing pushups and dealing with the pain until I decided it wasn't getting better and had it diagnosed. It's *possible* to do things with it like throw a football, but it can't feel good - the pain is pretty significant. I feel bad for Rodgers. Keep in mind too though, he has some of the best rehab people helping him out.

And I want to slap Dr. Z upside his smug little empty head.

I guess maybe not a lack of respect for Rodgers playing through pain, but it just kind of bugs me that the kid gets this 'injury prone' label even though he's never missed a start due to injury... the kid fights through pain and this chump doesn't give him any credit for it.

I don't put much stock into the 'national' types, but ... just reading his comment I thought it was inaccurate and I believe he's one of the chumps calling Aaron injury prone.

Dr. Z's been trashing the Pack for a long time. Some of it maybe be deserved, but he seems to go out of his way to get in digs at the Pack whenever he can.
