Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers returned to Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears after being carted off during the first half with a knee injury.

Rodgers was taken to the medical tent after being sacked by Bears defensive end Roy Robertson-Harris. He was later placed on a cart and was replaced by DeShone Kizer. Kizer didn't fare well in Rodgers' absence, throwing a pick-6 to Bears edge rusher Khalil Mack, and finishing 4-for-7 for 55 yards.

In his first drive after returning, Rodgers helped the Packers down the field, leading to a 42-yard field goal from Mason Crosby.

Rodgers is the face of the Packers' franchise and if he misses any time at all, it would be a devastating loss.
