After he did so, Bears defensive end Roy Robertson-Harris sacked him and landed right on Rodgers' left knee. He has thrown an interception returned for a 27-yard touchdown by Bears linebacker Khalil Mack. The 34-year-old managed to walk off the field with some assistance, but was carted from the sideline to the locker room shortly thereafter.
In the fourth quarter, Rodgers led three touchdown drives.
Prior to exiting Sunday's game, Rodgers was 3-for-7 for 13 yards and was sacked twice.
It was Rodgers' first regular-season game home game since September 28 against the Bears.
As if the Packers' home opener weren't off to a rough enough start before Rodgers' injury, the offense was booed off the field just two minutes into the second quarter after a third straight punt.
And the Bears, in their biggest moment, choked away what could've been a massive statement win to begin the Matt Nagy era when Rodgers had time and found Randall Cobb for a 75-yard run-after-the-catch dagger. He was limited to seven games in 2017 because of a collarbone injury.
The Bears next host the Seahawks for Monday Night Football at 8:20 p.m. ET, while the Packers host the Vikings next Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
Nagy and Vic Fangio deserve credit for calling a masterful first half that put the Packers all the way back against the wall.
