Aaron Rodgers: 'Discomfort kept me out'

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has revealed that "discomfort" during practice stopped him from playing against the Atlanta Falcons.

Rodgers has been out for over a month after he fractured his collarbone in his side's defeat to the Chicago Bears.

"The scan last week did not show [enough] healing. We would need different results this week in order to play this week," Rodgers told ESPN

"Doing quick movements or giving a handoff with left hand, those are things that gave me some discomfort. That was a clue.

"It's frustrating, very frustrating. I was trying to push it before science tells you before it's possible."

The Packers are 6-6-1 in their season going into week 15.
