Kyler Murray

Packers

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers said during an appearance on the NFL Network that he won’t undergo knee surgery this offseason and “feels really good” right now, despite suffering a concussion in Week 17’s game.

“I feel great,” Rodgers said, via ESPN.com. “My body feels really good. Instead of getting surgery postseason, decided to kind of go through a different routine with my knee than I’ve done in the past, and I’m feeling really, really good. Got a concussion the last game, that’s cleared up. I’m feeling really good. I’m getting back into my workout routine, but the first month of the offseason is a lot about yoga and traveling.”
