Aaron Rodgers to be medically clear
in a lot of cases, the most difficult aspect of a major injury is the mental portion. The athlete has been through the pain of the injury, the mental anguish of the injury and then the pain and anguish of a major surgery, recovery and then intensive rehab.
So when a player does come back it often takes them time to allow themselves to play as they once did out of a natural desire to not have to experience that injury and subsequent process again.
But I suppose if anyone can compartmentalize that - it would be Rodgers. 😆
