Aaron Rodgers won't rush back from his broken right collarbone if it puts his long-term health at risk.

Rodgers was placed on injured reserve on Oct. 20th and must sit at least eight weeks.

"First of all, I want to be healthy," Rodgers said. "That's the most important thing. But if we're healthy in eight weeks and it would make sense to come back, then I'm going to come back."

Rodgers researched his options for several days before undergoing surgery.

"I would just temper expectations because, as much as I would love to get back out there this year, if it's not healed, then there's no conversation," Rodgers said. "If it is healed, then there's a conversation and we'll go from there."
