Aaron Rodgers has been dealing with injuries all season long for the Green Bay Packers and it appears that he is dealing with them again against the Detroit Lions. After starting the game, Rodgers was seen limping and was forced to head to the locker room in the first half.
Tim Twentyman, a reporter for the Lions, shared the report that Rodgers walked back to the locker room. He is reportedly being tested for a concussion.

In Week 1 of the season, Rodgers was injured against the Chicago Bears when a player fell on his knee. He has been dealing with that all season long, but has shown a lot of guts and played through the injury.
More than likely, the Packers' superstar quarterback's season has come to an end due to the head injury.
If Rodgers is indeed done for the season, he will finish with a solid all-around year. He came into this week's game completing 62.3 percent of his pass attempts for 4,416 yards, 25 touchdowns, and two interceptions. Rodgers also ran for two touchdowns on the season.
Against the Lions, Rodgers had completed three of his five passes for 23 yards.
Green Bay is set to miss the playoffs for the second straight season. Brian Gutekunst and company will have their work cut out for them this offseason. Finding a new head coach will be the Packers' top priority, but they will also need to add more talent around Rodgers to get back into Super Bowl contention.
Hopefully, Rodgers' concussion test will come back negative. Either way, Green Bay would be wise to let DeShone Kizer play the rest of the game.
