A few years ago I experienced a similar injury to that which A.Rodgers had. In fact it was the left knee as well that I fell and injured. At first I stood right back up with the normal pain one would experience like if they banged their knee against a table or chair. I continued about my business, even climbing a set of stairs. However after a while the knee began to throb and swell. It got so bad that the knee swelled to twice the normal size and I got help to an Emergency room.
It was still early on a weekday, so the Emergency Room Dr. sent me directly to an Orthopedic Specialist. They x-rayed and drained the fluid away with a huge syringe. In my case I had a hairline crack across my kneecap. I was fitted with a knee brace, provided with crutches, and had to return the next day to again have the fluid drained away.
The point is that my kneecap injury, being the primary injury, was not the hardest part of my recovery. The hardest part was dealing with how my body was healing itself. Yes I was indeed injured, but what my body was doing in and around that injury was what most severely limited my activity level for weeks.
No one has reported that Rodgers has broken anything, yet a sprain or deep muscle bruise would react the same way that my knee did. I have also seen this same thing with others that have had knee injuries. Rodgers "sprain" may not be that serious, but I'd bet that his knee is very stiff and his mobility is limited. I would not think that any amount of therapy will have any effect upon how Rodgers body is healing itself. I don't expect him to play against the Vikings and he may not even return until the Buffalo game.
