He came back in the third quarter, throwing for one touchdown and scoring on a quarterback sneak from the 1.Rodgers said on his radio show on ESPN 540 in Milwaukee that he has been undergoing treatment. He said he didnt know if he would be 100 per cent for the Packers divisional round game on Jan. 11, though he was confident he would be in a better spot with the extra rest afforded by the teams first-round bye.The injury first occurred two weeks ago in a win at Tampa Bay. Rodgers said that was on the inside part of his calf, whereas Sundays injury was to the outside part of the muscle.Green Bay is off through Friday, when practice resumes. The team will return to a normal week of preparation once its next opponent is determined out of this weekends wild-card games. It could be Dallas, Carolina or Arizona coming to Lambeau Field.Its a significant injury ... you cant really say either way whether, what percentage its going to be in the game, Rodgers said on the radio show. But I hope its going to be ... feeling better than it was this past weekend.Offensive co-ordinator Tom Clements has said he was surprised when Rodgers walked out of the tunnel in the third quarter to return to the sideline. Rodgers played well despite an injury that limited his mobility, one of his biggest strengths.Rodgers experienced more pain after Lions tackle Ndamukong Suh stepped on the quarterbacks left leg twice while the quarterback was on the ground.Suh was looking up the field as he stepped back on to Rodgers. The league suspended Suh on Monday for Detroits wild-card game at Dallas this weekend, citing a violation of safety-related playing rules.Rodgers said he was awaiting the outcome of any appeal by Suh to the league.But the only thing I can say, if you step on something in your everyday life, or if you step on somebody on the field, the first reaction seems to be looking back and maybe apologizing with your hands, or pulling your foot back right away, Rodgers said, and Im just not sure thats what happened on Sunday.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Kendall Fuller Chiefs Jersey . -- Having already fallen behind because of the NFL lockout, Blaine Gabbert couldnt afford a lengthy holdout.

The result absolved Marcus Stroman, brilliant once again, of a tough luck loss while at the same time robbing Max Scherzer, brilliant once again, of a deserved win.GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Six straight losses sent the Minnesota Wild into a downward spiral, the weight of the previous game carrying over into the next. Once the Wild learned how to put games behind them, good or bad, the wins started piling up. Justin Fontaine scored three goals, Niklas Backstrom stopped 39 shots and the Wild won their fourth straight game by beating the Phoenix Coyotes 4-1 on Thursday night. "When we were losing games, we were carrying that baggage into the next game with us," Wild coach Mike Yeo said. "Success can do some damage to you, too, like winning can. Weve been able to put that behind us and go on to the next one and recognize what we have to do." The Wild had been in a rut, plagued by shaky goaltending, injuries to key players and a big hit to their confidence. Once one of the top teams in the Western Conference, Minnesota plummeted down the standings with four straight road losses that led to two more at home to close out 2013. Once the calendar flipped, the Wild found their way again, starting with a 4-1 win over Buffalo. Minnesota followed a home win over Washington with a shootout road victory over the Kings and backed that up with another superb game against the Coyotes. Fontaine scored late in the first period, gave the Wild a two-goal lead on a power play after a strange bounce in the third and closed out his first career hat trick with an empty-net goal. Kyle Brodziak had a goal and an assist, Matt Cook had two assists and Backstrom was superb, winning his third straight start after allowing 17 goals the previous four. The win moved the Wild ahead of the Coyotes for the eighth spot in the Western Conference with 53 points. "We have a lot of young guys following the leadership and were playing the kind of game we need to play," Fontaine said. The Coyotes had their chances. They doubled Minnesotas shot total in the first period and had numerous good scoring chances, including one shot by Lauri Korpikoski that hit the crossbar. Mikkel Boedker was the only Phoenix player to score, doing it on a power play early in the second period, leaving the Coyotes a bit disheartened after their third loss in four games. "We had opportunities to score and didnt score," Coyotes captain Shane Doan said. "Give tthem credit that they found ways to score when they got theirs and we didnt.dddddddddddd In a game like that, you have to put as much onus on the guys trying to score as the guys who are trying to stop them." Phoenix came out firing, outshooting Minnesota 15-7 in the first period. The Wild scored first, though, thanks to a turnover by Phoenix defenceman Keith Yandle. Trying to clear the puck under pressure in front of the crease, Yandle sent it right to the slot, where Fontaine gathered it and beat Mike Smith to the glove side late in the first period. The Coyotes kept up the pressure early in the second period and tied it on a power play when Boedker spun around and slipped a backhander under Backstrom just before he fell to the ice. Phoenix continued to generate nearly twice as many shots, but Minnesota scored the next goal early in the third period. This one came on a defensive miscue as well: Yandle was caught pinching in Minnesotas zone, Brodziak ended up with a partial breakaway and sent a wrister that went off Smith into the goal. Fontaine put Minnesota up 3-1 a few minutes later when he fought off Antoine Vermette and flicked in a one-handed shot as he was going down. Smith had circled behind the goal to play Jason Pominvilles dump-in and had no chance of getting back when the puck caromed off the boards to the front of the goal. Phoenix tried to pick up the pressure, but couldnt get anything past Backstrom and Fontaine closed it out with his empty-netter. "We had a couple little spurts here and there, but to score youve got to go hard to the net, especially when theyre playing real tight," Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. "Their goaltender gives them a (good) game, they play tight and we couldnt do enough to get inside to get opportunities and score on our opportunities." Notes: Phoenix D Oliver Ekman-Larsson returned after missing two games with an upper-body injury. ... Wild LW Zach Parise missed his eighth straight game with a lower-body injury and Mikko Koivu missed his second straight with a broken ankle. They have a combined 23 goals and 39 assists. ...
