Aaron Rodgers worries about his knee injury for week 3

This is not a good sign for Green Bay as Aaron Rodgers himself fears that his knee will not hold.

Everyone who watched the Green Bay Packers in their first game of the season against the Chicago Bears saw quarterback Aaron Rodgers take a knee injury in the first period.

When Rodgers was transported off the field and returned to the locker room, it was easy to assume that his ACL was torn and that he would be away for the year. But then he miraculously pushed back onto the pitch for the second half and brought the Packers back from a 20-point deficit to stun the Bears at Lambeau Field.

Going forward, it was obvious that his knee had to be watched, but it seemed he would be fine, especially with his return in the second half against Chicago. But last week, he took a knee injury against the Minnesota Vikings, and as the Packers head for the Week 3 game against the Washington Redskins, even Rodgers himself does not seem convinced his knee is fine

"It depends on how the week goes with rehabilitation and recovery," said Rodgers, according to ESPN.com. "Obviously, I would have liked to be better than last week in terms of health, but some factors are out of my control."

Usually, when a player feels good, he says something like, "Yeah, I'll be fine to leave. I'm just ready to go there and win. A competitive quarterback like Rodgers would certainly not use his own health as an excuse, especially if he thought it would not be a big problem.

But it is clear that Rodgers fears that his knee does not take into account the progression of the season. It's not a good sign for the Packers that even Rodgers himself doubts his own health. No one knows better than he how good or bad the knee is.

All we can do is hope that Rodgers knee improves. If the situation gets worse, the 2018 season for the Packers goes to the morgue.
