Rookie defensive end Jerel Worthy underwent major knee surgery last week
Fans don’t seem overly concerned about the news that Jerel Worthy could miss the 2013 season after undergoing ACL surgery a few weeks ago. There are two reasons why.

Yes, there are Pre-SAG awards and Aaron Rodgers looks chill with Craig Robinson. Rodgers might have been knocked out of the playoffs earlier than he was expecting, but all indications are that he and the Packers offense will be a force once again in 2013. Expect Rodgers to be the first QB off the board in fantasy drafts once again...
