Aaron Rodgers details series of events that led to him exiting Eagles game

When Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers left Sunday’s 40-33 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles he was initially thinking worst-case scenario.

The 38-year-old QB revealed on Tuesday’s “The Pat McAfee Show,” that getting medically evaluated was a precautionary measure for he feared he may have fractured ribs or a punctured lung.

“There was an earlier shot in the game that kind of rattled the rib cage,” Rodgers said. “I was trying to stretch some things out at halftime a bit and realized it probably wasn’t some sort of muscle injury. Then I just got hit again in the third quarter and was just having a hard time breathing. 

“I pride myself on not coming out of games and I played through a lot of different things over the years. …I was in considerable pain and I just felt like I couldn’t move out there really much at all, and I wanted to go in and make sure it wasn’t something really, really serious.”
