GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) – Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers says when he spent time on the injured reserve in 2006, he stayed in Green Bay to finish the season instead of returning to California.
Rodgers didn’t directly address the way his injured teammates chose to express their disappointment about potentially being left out of the Super Bowl team photo. But, without naming anyone, he says Saturday that some of the injured players chose not to stick around and rehab locally.
This week, linebacker Nick Barnett and tight end Jermichael Finley complained on Twitter that they weren’t going to be in the photo. Rodgers and Charles Woodson brought the issue to the attention of coach Mike McCarthy, and they decided to schedule the photo for Friday instead.
