Football team Green Bay Packers' quarterback might just be out of the gaming season. The group's coach announced that Aaron Rodgers, who suffered a collarbone injury, will need a surgery.
Coach Mike McCarthy on Tuesday, Oct. 17, announced this on Twitter and added that their attention is on the health of the football star. The trainer did not specify the date of the surgery and will release a statement on the team's status once the operation is done.
Rodgers got injured on Oct. 15 following a hard landing on his right shoulder from a hit with rival team Minnesota Vikings' Anthony Barr. Sunday's game had the Packers losing to Vikings, with the score of 23-10. Now, it is up to the new quarterback to lead the team to a winning season.
Rodgers also had an injury in his left collarbone in 2013. This time, he broke his right collarbone, greatly affecting his throwing shoulder. Brett Hundley will take over the place of Rodgers in driving the team for the rest of the season. "It's hard to see him go down. I'm praying for him," Hundley said of the recent event that had transpired.
Sports analysts were quick to offer a rundown of other, better possible replacement for Rodgers, including Josh McCown (New York Jets), Tyrod Taylor (Buffalo Bills), Jared Goff (Los Angeles Rams), Trevor Siemian (Denver Broncos), Jalen Richard (Oakland Raiders), and Zach Miller (Chicago Bears).
Six weeks down to the season and already, several players have to sit out the upcoming gaming period. Houston Texans' JJ Watt also injured his left leg during a game against Kansas City Chiefs on Oct. 8, Sunday. He was later announced to have tibial plateau fracture.
