Rodgers retreated to mystery tent for privacy: 'Had to drop my drawers'

Aaron Rodgers was the star of Monday night's game, both on the field and on the sidelines.

During a brief break from picking apart the Philadelphia Eagles' defense, the superstar quarterback didn't exactly go unnoticed while heading for a mystery tent behind the Green Bay Packers' bench.

Though the Twitter world was immediately set ablaze with outrageous theories as to what could possibly be in this magical place, it appears as though Rodgers was merely getting out of camera sight. He'd been evaluated for a possible leg issue just minutes earlier, and the ESPN broadcast pointed out a wrap of sorts underneath Rodgers' pants shortly after the disappearing act.

Rodgers confirmed as much after the game.

"I just didn't want to be getting taped up on the television," he said, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. "But obviously, when I walked out and saw the camera right in my face, I knew there was probably some sort of mini story growing. But no, I had to drop my drawers a little bit to get taped up and just wanted to do (that) in the privacy of that tent."
