The Bears’ defense has been absolutely stifling here in the first half, with Aaron Rodgers feeling an uncharacteristic amount of pressure, including a sack that just sent the ball back to the Bears.
But, of much more concern to Packers fans than the third down sack, Rodgers didn’t get right back up, and was holding his leg:

Thing got very, very quiet at Lambeau Field as Rodgers went down, tried to get up, went back down, and then was helped off the field. We’ll see if he returns, but the discomfort was obvious.

UPDATE: Rodgers was ultimately taken in by the cart, and Kizer entered the game. (And he’s currently driving.)
