Aaron Rodgers

Why worry? This guy has it figured out:

Let Rodgers play with all those screws still left in and just add some padding there.

This is a bone density scan of Martellus Bennett before, during and after ARod's injury.

MM is scheduled to do an interview which is to be on the NFL Network within an hour from now. My bet is he’s going to announce Rodgers is playing Sunday in Carolina.
stupid thing is even if we do win out, a 10-6 team won’t make it this season.

MM said in his presser that Aaron had the scans this morning but he hadn't heard from the doctors yet. He half jokingly said if McKenzie doesn't tell him by tomorrow he'll be the next guy on IR.

With all the anticipation of Rodgers coming back, I wonder how the team would deal with it mentally if the answer is "not yet".

not to mention the fans

Perhaps they want the surgeon to look at the scans and confirm McKenzie's diagnosis?

This article starts with things no one said to Rapoport. But then he gets to the nub of the argument:

As Packers doctor Pat McKenzie and other experts evaluate the scan, the decision was described as a "risk/reward" decision. The bone isn't fully healed -- and there was no chance it was going to be after two months. That was the expectation. Typically, 80-percent healed is healthy enough to be on the field. And Rodgers chose a surgical procedure involving two plates and 13 screws as an aggressive way of accelerating healing and protecting his throwing shoulder. It was a success.

So its not 100% and had no chance of being 100%. Is it 80%? RapSheet doesn't know. So you are left with two choices, McKenzie is consuming with specialist to see if its truly above 80 everywhere OR the debate about 79-81% is being done at the front office level.

My bet is on the former.

FYI, here is what 57.6% looks like:

This is all very interesting.

Hope they had a great meal.
