You may have seen the quote from Green Bay Packers injured quarterback Aaron Rodgers this morning about him not declaring himself out for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings, but that his coach probably did.

"It's unlike any other injury I've had. I've had knee issues, a shoulder injury. I broke finger in college on my throwing hand. But those were all injuries I could play through.
