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.

While it's obvious it won't be 100% come gametime, I do hope that he does enough to protect it and not cause anymore strain. We'll need him.

This has got to be a huge concern going forward.
No doubt he will start and hopefully play well, but how long will he be able to play before it becomes so aggrevated that he can't continue.

I think his calf will be a non issue. This extra week off with the professional trainers the Packers have, they will get him right.

I am sure there will be lingering effects for the injury. I pulled a hammy when I was in my 20's. I could feel it all summer long. While I didn't have professional trainers at my beck and call it still will take time for the body to heal. At best the trainers will mask the pain and weakness.

The injury will simply mean Aaron can't scramble and look for a deep threat. He was 11 for 13 after coming back into the game. They will go more quick route options or have the WR go deep and pass to Lacy for 5-6 yards. It takes 2-3 sometimes 4 defenders to bring Lacy down when he is rushing. The other teams won't be able to commit that many defenders to him on passing routes. It is a huge advantage for GB if they focus on Lacy in the passing game.

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

Pretty optimistic I think but I guess you have to be.

I have no issue forcing the opponent to have to gameplan for our back-ups as well, but I am not sure we want to take away a roster spot from a ST guy how actually gets on the field to give to somebody to hold a clipboard.

Chances are, if Rodgers goes down our season will be over anyway.
But I still think they will have all 3 QB's active, just in case.
