GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers could look a little different when he returns next week from the Green Bay Packers' bye.
If all goes well, the quarterback will play his next game without the restrictive brace he has worn on his injured left knee.
Rodgers said he discussed that with team physician Dr. Pat McKenzie right after Monday night's 33-30 last-second win over the San Francisco 49ers.
"Yeah, I just told Doc, I'd love to take the brace off after the bye," Rodgers said after the game. "But we'll see how I respond tomorrow and this week and next week and probably get some sort of image of it again.
