Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera says he expected quarterback Aaron Rodgers to be on the field for Green Bay this Sunday – ever since he was hurt in October. Rivera checked the calendar and saw his team was the Packers’ eighth opponent after Rodgers was put on injured reserve, sidelining him for a minimum of eight weeks. Rivera says Green Bay did a great job of staying eligible for the playoffs while the two-time M-V-P was recuperating. It’s not clear what kind of restrictions Rodgers might be under, but Rivera isn’t expecting much. He says Rodgers might stay in the pocket more and throw more quick passes to avoid contact as much as possible.
