Aaron Rodgers' much-anticipated return in Week 15 didn't go according to plan.

The Green Bay Packers lost a virtual must-win game against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, and the quarterback may have aggravated his collarbone injury in the process.

Head coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that Rodgers is sore after being "hit too many times."

The team will wait and see before deciding Rodgers' status for the Week 16 game against the Minnesota Vikings, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen.

The Packers will be eliminated from playoff contention if the Atlanta Falcons beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night.
