Many years, we find out about injuries that various players had been playing with.
Rodgers pulled out of the prowbowl due to multiple leg injuries. We knew about the ankle, but it seems that it's more extensive.

GREEN BAY – Aaron Rodgers will not play in the Pro Bowl, as the Green Bay Packers and NFC starting quarterback said on his weekly radio show on 540 ESPN and ESPNWisconsin.com that he has injuries to “multiple lower extremities” that will keep him out of the game.
"I didn’t pass my physical," Rodgers announced. He wouldn’t delve into specifics of the injuries but did say that his ankle, which he injured against Chicago on Dec. 16, “has definitely been a problem."
Later in the show, he said his calf, which he injured Oct. 14 at Houston, bothered him for several weeks.
After the show, Rodgers said he’d received an injection in his knee, but would not give any further information.
The Pro Bowl is set for Jan. 27, the Sunday before Super Bowl XLVII.
Rodgers, outside linebacker Clay Matthews and center Jeff Saturday were the three Packers players selected to the Pro Bowl, while coach Mike McCarthy and his staff are set to coach the NFC squad.
Rodgers criticized the quality of play in last year's Pro Bowl and joked that he might watch the start of the game on TV.
