In reply, Rodgers said, “I haven’t taken one (painkiller) in a number of weeks. That’s been the most encouraging thing. Used to get a standard shot in the toe, very painful, numbing agents basically. That helped me get through the games. The whole goal was to be able to not have to do that, and have played a few games without it.”
