Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was confident his collarbone wouldn't be an issue Week 17, especially after he fell on his back shoveling snow in a recent storm, reports the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
"Ever since I tried to shovel my driveway and actually slipped on some ice, I had a pretty good feeling I was going to be able to fall - and not have some major issues," Rodgers said on his radio show Tuesday. "Thankfully nobody in the neighborhood was out there watching or videoing me, because that would have been great YouTube material there.
"I felt good about it, I wanted to take that first hit, that first hit was actually very painful, the late one, but not in my collarbone area."
Rodgers said his calves were still sore Tuesday after he cramped up during the win in Chicago. But his collarbone was not bothering him, the report said.
