Rodgers hurt in Packers, Bears game

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Quarterback Aaron Rodgers left tonight's game against the Chicago Bears with an injury to his non-throwing shoulder before the Green Bay Packers took a 10-7 lead in the first quarter on a 32-yard touchdown run by James Starks.

Rodgers hurt his left shoulder when he was sacked while scrambling to his right on a third-and-8 by Bears defensive end Shea McClellin with 12:38 to go in the quarter.

A trainer looked at Rodgers' upper body on the bench. Rodgers took a few tosses on the sideline, then was attended to again before running inside Lambeau Stadium for tests. The team said his return was questionable.

Rodgers hasn't missed a game because of injury since Dec. 19, 2010, when he had a concussion.

A worst-case scenario for Packers' fans then came to fruition: backup Seneca Wallace took over at quarterback. Rogers' injury turned this high-profile matchup with the Bears into the Battle of the Backups. Josh McCown started for Jay Cutler, who was out with a groin injury.
