Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers left the team’s Monday Night Football match up against the Chicago Bears with a shoulder/collar bone injury that had the team’s season flashing before their eyes.
There have been concerns about the extent of time that Rodgers could miss, but ESPN’s Adam Schefter provided an update on Tuesday morning that gives an early diagnosis.
According to the report, Rodgers could miss up to three weeks, but he isn’t out of the clear just yet.
More definitive scans today but initial tests showed small fracture in Aaron Rodgers' collarbone that could sideline him about three weeks.

But Packers do not want to make any determination until Aaron Rodgers undergoes more testing today.

If Rodgers is out for three weeks, he will miss games against the Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings — which should all be winnable games.
Of course, the tests today will determine an exact time frame for Rodgers’ return, so you should still hold your breath.
