It was every Green Bay Packers' nightmare: seeing Aaron Rodgers get carted off the field with an injury. Especially in the last game of the regular season with a possible Wild Card game on the horizon. In the second quarter of their contest against the Detroit Lions, Rodgers came up hobbling before tossing a four-yard touchdown pass to Randall Cobb.

All week long, Rodgers has been dealing with a strained calf which has made him a limited participant in practice, but with the NFC North crown (and a possible first-round bye) on the line, the Packers star quarterback decided to give it a go. Today, the 2011 NFL MVP re-aggravated the same injured calf.
The Packers have announced that Rodgers has a calf injury and is questionable to return. Green Bay is clinging to a 14-7 lead at halftime.
UPDATE: With the game tied at 14 midway through the third quarter, Rodgers has returned to the game.
