Rodgers said today that he suffered a fractured left collarbone and while he didn't specify whether it was a complete break, a hairline fracture or a crack isn't known the consensus among a pair of shoulder specialists is that even if it is just a hairline fracture, it is imperative that it be completely healed or he will be at risk for a much worse fracture.

"The risk is that he could take what is a non-displaced fracture, have someone throw him down and have a displaced fracture," said Chris P. O'Grady, orthopedic surgeon for the Andrews Institute for Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, "That’s something that’s a big problem and might have to be addressed surgically.

Bur Verma also said it was probably a good sign that the medical staff needed to do more tests on Monday to determine the full extent of the injury. If it had shown up clearly on the X-rays they would have been dealing with a more significant fracture.

"The second is what is the risk he refractures it. So, there’s a real chance that if they let him go back early and it wasn’t completely healed and he took another hit and landed on his shoulder, then he could break it and this time displace it and have a more significant break. There’s a fine line there."

Heck if it's not that bad throw him in there and make him get the ball out in 2 seconds on every play no matter what, he may not be the same Aaron Rodgers with that plan but he'd still probably produce more than anyone else we could put out there.
