Hurt hamstring of Aaron Rodgers attended to in ‘privacy’ of tent
PHILADELPHIA — It wasn’t that Aaron Rodgers didn’t want anyone to see what was wrong with his left leg.
No, the reason the Green Bay Packers quarterback ducked into the tent behind the bench was so that no one would see him “drop his drawers,” as he put it, while he received medical attention.
Rodgers said he pulled his hamstring on the opening drive of the third quarter and had the trainers tape his leg between series. When he emerged from the hut behind the visitor’s bench at Lincoln Financial Field, the Monday Night Football cameras were waiting for him.
“I just didn’t want to be getting taped up on the television,” Rodgers said. “But obviously when I walked out and saw the camera right in my face, I knew there was probably some sort of ministory growing. But no, I had to drop my drawers a little bit to get taped up and just wanted to do in the privacy of that tent.”
