Aaron Rodgers has returned to his typical offseason routine of playing golf, which can be taken as a good sign that the Green Bay Packers QB is healthy following his arthroscopic knee surgery.
Rodgers was seen playing 18 holes on Thursday with Wisconsin golf pro Jerry Kelly at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. The QB underwent surgery after the Packers’ overtime playoff loss against the Arizona Cardinals on Jan. 16, although he stated that the injury did not occur during that game.
“It was just good to be out there walking normally,” Rodgers said, via USA Today. “It feels great. It’s nice to not have any clunking around or anything, so it was good.”
Rodgers has not had any previous knee issues during his professional career. He did, however, go through reconstructive surgery on his left knee in January 2004 during his time at the University of California. He will return to the Packers lineup later this year for his 12th season with the team.
