With the severity of Rodgers' pain — highlighted by the need to cart him off the field — Jung said the quarterback likely has a "moderate to severe" calf strain. A moderate strain is a partial tear of the muscle, while severe is a complete tear, he said.

The calf injury's grade is low enough to play, Jung said, but a lesser, mild calf strain likely wouldn't be listed on the injury report.

Moderate to severe calf strains typically take six to eight weeks to heal, Jung said. With the Super Bowl less than five weeks away, it's unlikely Rodgers' calf will heal before season's end — even if there is no re-injury.

A pulled soleus can take weeks go get back...one of my athletes this fall pulled one and was inactive for 10 days, had physio tape on their leg for the next 4 days with restricted acrivities, and could sort of compete 2 weeKS after injury. I don't know that this is a soleus injury because it seemed higher in the calf...but I doubt this will be 100% w/o a significant break to let it heal, which he unfortunately won't get until the offseason
