Aaron Rodgers recently revealed that he played the 2018 season despite suffering from multiple injuries. The Green Bay Packers superstar fractured the tibial plateau and sprained the MCL in his left leg during an instant-classic comeback victory over the Chicago Bears in Week 1, rendering him far less than 100 percent for the season's remainder, half of which he played while wearing a bulky brace.

Rodgers, fortunately, didn't have to undergo surgery to address the injuries, instead taking some time off to begin the offseason and slightly tweaking his training regimen from there. The two-time MVP was even able to participate for the start of Green Bay's organized team activities earlier this week.

“I feel great. My legs feel good. My feet feel good,” Rodgers said during a recent radio appearance.

Just in case his insistence of a clean bill of health isn't enough for the most neurotic Packers fans, though, another person qualified to speak on the matter believes Rodgers should be 100 percent by kickoff of the 2019 season. In an article for The San Diego Union Tribune, Dr. David J. Chao, the San Diego Chargers' team doctor for 17 years, did his best to ease the concerns of Cheese Heads everywhere.

“Packers fans should not get agitated about this. Rodgers should already be healed from both the MCL and tibial plateau injury and be healthy for the start of the season.

“Based on the video, when the MCL was sprained, the lateral tibial plateau was compressed. Both of these injuries should be in the rear view mirror at this point.

“No question, the re-aggravation of the injury before he was completely healed contributed to his being hampered last season. But going forward, there is little worry for re-injury as the ligament and bone should be well healed.”

Rodgers, 35, threw for 25 touchdowns and completed 62.3 percent of his touchdowns in 2018, both well below established career norms, as the Packers missed the playoffs for the second consecutive season.
