GREEN BAY, Wis. -- If Aaron Rodgers has surgery to repair his broken collarbone, it could help facilitate a return before this season is over.
While surgery would be far more invasive than just rest and recovery, it might be the best option for the Green Bay Packers quarterback.
“Actually, surgery would accelerate the recovery, not the other way around,” ESPN injury analyst Stephania Bell said. “You can begin moving much sooner because the fracture is stabilized by the hardware.”
Rodgers did not undergo surgery he fractured his left clavicle in 2013 and returned after seven weeks of rest and rehabilitation.
