EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr spoke to reporters on Friday for the first time since Sunday’s win over the Packers, and told the Twin Cities media that it was not his intent to injure Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Barr tackled Rodgers midway through the first quarter in Minnesota’s 23-10 win after the quarterback had rolled to his right out of the pocket.
Rodgers suffered a broken collarbone on the play. The Packers have said the quarterback could potentially miss the rest of the 2017 season.
“By no means was I trying to injure or take out Aaron Rodgers,” Barr said.
