The NFL is off to a tumultuous start this year, with the Green Bay Packers and their star quarterback Aaron Rodgers making headlines. Rodgers has been a staple of the Packers organization since 2005, and his presence has been a major part of the team’s success over the years. However, Rodgers will not be participating in the first week of the NFL’s observation round due to an injury.
The injury occurred during the Packers’ first preseason game against the Oakland Raiders. Rodgers was hit hard by Raiders defensive lineman Arden Key, resulting in a knee injury. Although Rodgers was able to finish the game, he has been held out of practice ever since. As a result, he will not be participating in the first week of the NFL’s observation round.
The Packers have yet to make a decision on whether or not Rodgers will be able to play in Week 1 of the regular season. However, it is likely that he will be held out for at least one more week as he continues to recover from his injury. This means that backup quarterback DeShone Kizer will be starting in Week 1.
Rodgers’ absence from the first week of the NFL’s observation round is a major blow to the Packers. He is one of the best quarterbacks in the league and his presence on the field is invaluable. Without him, the Packers will have to rely heavily on Kizer, who has yet to prove himself as a reliable starter.
The Packers are hoping that Rodgers will be able to return to the field soon and that his injury is not too serious. However, until then, they will have to make do without their star quarterback and hope that Kizer can step up and lead them to victory in Week 1.
