Aaron Rodgers might need more knee brace after setback

Even when Green Bay Quarterback Packers Aaron Rodgers performed some magic in Week 1 against the Chicago Bears, it should have been clear that he would be a linger while.

It's mid-October, and Rodgers said the injury got worse last week.

Rodgers said he took a hit from Detroit Lions Christian Jones's linebacker last Sunday and suffered what he said was a setback to his knee, ESPN's Rob Demovsky reported.

There's no indication Rodgers is in any danger of not playing Monday night against the San Francisco 49ers, but he might need to back up his protector, Demovsky wrote.

Aaron Rodgers said he hopes to practice Friday

Rodgers is hoping to avoid the big deal in Detroit. He wore a last brace last week, and suffered the setback. But he still hopes he will not wear the brace, according to Demovsky.

Rodgers has been playing hurt

While this is one of the most important things in the world, considering Rodgers never comes out of the pack, it's a reminder that Rodgers is not fully healthy.

Rodgers has been playing, and he has not been bad, he has not looked at his usual self for most of the season. The injury was decided to take a break, and a setback after four weeks is not the best scenario.

Rodgers will be presumably be playing Monday night against the 49ers, and he'll still make a handful of plays that nobody else can. But he has not been 100 percent since the first half of the first game of the season, and it's unclear when he might get there.
