Injury update: Rodgers' shoulder separated?
The initial diagnosis of Aaron Rodgers' injury is a bruised throwing shoulder, coach Mike McCarthy said after today's game.
The Packers' starting quarterback no doubt will be examined further upon the team's return to Green Bay this evening. UPDATE: At various points in his postgame press conference, Rodgers said he thought the shoulder might be separated or dislocated, but wasn't sure. Again, tests will occur tonight or Monday morning.
Rodgers missed one series in the second half, a three-and-out after which Tampa Bay drove for the winning field goal, then returned briefly before leaving for good. He finished 14-for-27 for 165 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions.
McCarthy did not immediately provide additional information on the other players who left today's game, including safeties Nick Collins and Aaron Rouse and defensive lineman Cullen Jenkins.
UPDATE: LB A.J. Hawk told Rob Demovsky that he hurt his groin.
UPDATE: Here's the additional injury info from McCarthy, per Mike Vandermause: Will Blackmon (quad), Jason Hunter (hamstring), Cullen Jenkins (shoulder), Nick Collins (reinjured lower back), Aaron Rouse (knee). Only Blackmon finished the game.
On whether Rodgers can play next week: "I have no idea. It’s too early to tell. He was able to go back in and play the one series, so I think tomorrow morning like a lot of cases will have a lot to do. Pat McKenzie has not had a chance to put him through a thorough examination."
On why Rodgers was held out for that one series: "I think they were still checking him out. It was clearly a medical decision to hold him that one series, then he was ok to go back in. then they felt it wasn’t ok for him to go back after the interception."

And you people thought that Farve shouldn't retire? Did he throw 7 TD passes today - the answer is a resounding NO -only 6. Case closed, the man should have retired!

I was wondering how many games AR would get under his belt before getting hurt.

GO JETS!!!!!

Ryan Grant is running soft. His train has left the station.

I will blame each week TT/MM for every loss like this one. These are their players, the ones left when the "train left the station."

I said it would be a long season.
AROD needs to get a back bone. I bet he will be out at least two to three games. Boy can TT pick um. What a loser. I think the fans should rally. We can fly or bus TT some where.

This team is the more fragile than Glass Joe in Mike Tyson's Punchout. Rodgers is relies on Jennings way too much.

This just in: Mike McCarthy says it is a pad level problem. We just need to focus on the fundamentals to get this train back on track. No mention of the Rubicon, but maybe Murph will include that in his comments. Sure is comforting to know that TT has prepared the team so well will a strong backup QB plan.

MM sure showed a lot of confidence in the QB position with his dynamic play calling today. I'm afraid it could be a long season with inadequate QB play and a timid playcaller.

I'm sure the three stooges have a clever plan to get us out of this mess... Maybe we can pay AR $20 million to not play anymore.

6 TD's in one game against a soft AZ D.
Where were you clowns last week when #4 threw 2-3 picks and lost..........thought so.

#4's best receiver would be a #3 on the Pack which makes what he is doing even more amazing....plus, he's had about 20 practices with his new team. So much for this being a "Win Now" league TT

Favre 257 consecutive games played yesterday on a bum ankle. 6 TD 1 int
Rodgers 3 3/4 game went crying to the sidelines with a bum shoulder! 2 TD 3 int
There are 21 of 22 starters back this season. According to the Three Stooges everyone but Favre is on the train! Do the math who would you want as the engineer of your train!
No, Favre is not coming back but those of us who saw the train wreck coming got our prophecy yesterday!
Who is the idiot now? Dumba**!!!

What change about the offensive line since last year?
Farve not coming back but it does not mean that Packer fans can not complain about what the Packers management fail to do this year. Which is put the best possible team on the field.

Rex Grossman would have been good for at least 4 TD's yesterday against the Cards, lets just hope that ARod can come back because he's the best quarterback we have.

ARE WE REALLY SURE AARON SPRAINED HIS RIGHT ARM IN THE FOOTBALL GAME???? Did he have a Private Room Saturday Night and how do NOT KNOW he didn't sprain it then, while he was watching a PPV Flick in the middle of the night? Couldn't it BE EVEN 1% POSSIBLE? Maybe he stayed in the Private bathroom just alittle to long during halftime, and he was trying to finish it alittle bit too fast and reinjured it again? We all know he's right handed...
I'm just saying.... :)
