Three weeks for a clavicle fracture? That sounds really light to me, no matter how "small" it is. The fracture itself usually takes at least four weeks to heal, and in a contact sport I would think even more time off would be needed because of the high risk of reinjury. And if it was the collar bone, wouldn't Rodgers have been wearing a sling? I won't be surprised if this report turns out to be wrong.

Going to agree with this. Flynn can work in the right home, like GB. But I'd be surprised if they bring him back.Originally posted by Packers4Glory View Postwhat's wrong with flynn is he's been on shitty teams w/ no help. he's not going to make guys better but he'll look decent with guys around him. plus he knew this offense really well.When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro ~Hunter S.

Only thing that I can think is that they figured the fracture (if it *is*) would be so minor that Rodgers could just use his sweatshirt pocket to support his arm.When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro ~Hunter S.

Pump him full of stem cells.Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

Type of "small" fracture on Rodgers clavicle will determine treatment and recovery. Medial (SC), lateral (AC), avulsion or incomplete etc.

Initial speculation by ESPN media is @AaronRodgers12 is out for 3 weeks. Waiting for CT scan results before giving medical estimate on time.

Signs on Rodgers injury point to a chip fracture rather than a break in the middle of the clavicle (collarbone) that would require surgery.When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro ~Hunter S.

Scott Tolzien will be signed from the practice squad. They just increased his salary to the minimum if he were on the regular roster. They must like him. He should be more ready to step in than Flynn would be at this point.Originally posted by Cheesehead Craig View PostWell, they have to bring in someone ASAP. I don't see why they wouldn't bring in Flynn. It's either him or Vince Young.
