Rodgers says he'll only come off IR if he's 'healed completely'

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is in no hurry to rush back to action after suffering a broken collarbone.

Rodgers was placed on injured reserve after sustaining the injury against the Minnesota Vikings during an Oct. 15 loss. The superstar was driven into the ground by linebacker Anthony Barr.

"I’m on IR, so it’s at least 8 weeks," Rodgers said to Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette. "Then at that point it’s, has the bone healed properly or not?"

"Only reason to come back would be that I’m healed completely. If that doesn’t happen in 8 weeks, there’s not even a conversation."

Brett Hundley started in Rodgers' absence, but the Packers lost 26-17 to the New Orleans Saints before entering their bye week.

The Packers are at a crossroads, sporting a 4-3 record while the Vikings pull away in the NFC North. In the interim, it doesn't seem likely that Rodgers will be coming to the rescue this winter.
