Rams quarterback Sam Bradford was scheduled to undergo knee surgery Tuesday, but it has been pushed back to an undetermined date in the near future, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Bradford is out for the season after suffering a torn ACL Week 7 at Carolina.

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers confirmed during a radio interview Tuesday he suffered a fractured collarbone Monday against the Bears. However, he said no timetable for his return has been discussed.

"I'm in some pain. It's obviously disappointing what happened last night with the injury and the loss," he said. "We have not talked about any long-term prognosis. It's a difficult injury because there's not a specific type of rehab. Feel like I've been a quick healer in the past. Hopefully this will be on the short end of whatever timetable there is."

Initial tests show Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffered a small fracture in his collarbone Monday against the Bears, which could sideline him three weeks, according to ESPN. However, the Packers don't want to make a final determination until Rodgers undergoes more medical tests Tuesday.

Packers coach Mike McCarthy said he does not have an exact diagnosis on Aaron Rodgers' left shoulder injury. "They want to run more tests," McCarthy said, adding he might have more information Tuesday.

Asked about a report Rodgers broke his collarbone, McCarthy reiterated he does not know the exact injury or how long his star quarterback might be out.

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who hurt his left shoulder in the first quarter vs. Chicago, has been ruled out for the rest of the game. Rodgers was slammed to the turf by Bears defensive end Shea McClellin on a 3rd-down sack.

Rodgers hit 1 of 2 passes for 27 yards and had a 9-yard run before the injury. He was replaced by Seneca Wallace.

The Packers host the Eagles in Week 10. Rodgers has missed only one game in his career due to injury.

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers went to the locker room in the first quarter against the Bears after getting sacked and landing hard on his left shoulder. Rodgers was checked out on the sideline by the team physician before trotting to the locker room, possibly for X-rays.

Backup quarterback Seneca Wallace warmed up as Rodgers left. Officially, Rodgers is questionable to return.

Bills coach Doug Marrone said quarterback Thad Lewis (ribs), who sat out Week 9, threw passes Monday and is expected to return to practice this week. Lewis could start Week 10 at Pittsburgh, if EJ Manuel (knee) isn't ready to return.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Monday quarterback Russell Wilson "got banged around" during Sunday's overtime win against the Bucs, but indicated Wilson will be fine to play Week 10 at Atlanta.

"He’s sore today," Carroll said, per The Seattle Times. "Just walked out of the training room with him. He’s got a big smile on his face. He’s fired up and all that. We’ll take good care of him and see if we can get him all cleaned up and ready to go for the weekend."

With Bills rookie quarterback EJ Manuel close to returning from a knee injury, quarterback Jeff Tuel sounded uncertain Monday if he would make another start Week 10 at Pittsburgh. Tuel started Sunday's 23-13 loss vs. Kansas City, completing 18 of 39 passes for 229 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.

"I'm not sure," Tuel said of his starting status for Week 10, per ESPN.

Wide receiver Steve Johnson seems to think Manuel will ready to return next week. Tuel started Sunday in place of Thad Lewis, who was out with a rib injury.

"(Manuel) said he'll be ready on Sunday. After that there's no excuses," Johnson said.

Texans quarterback Case Keenum proved in Week 9 that his strong debut against the Chiefs was no fluke. The undrafted second-year pro hit 20 of 34 throws for 350 yards and three touchdowns, all to Andre Johnson, in the 27-24 loss to the Colts.

Keenum hurt Indy on bootlegs and rollouts, and he ran for 26 yards on three carries. He led his team into position for a tying field goal, but it missed left at the buzzer. For the second straight game he did not throw an interception. 

Keenum started fast, scrambling and hitting DeVier Posey for 11 yards on the opening drive. On the next play he faked a handoff and found Johnson behind the defense for a 62-yard score. Keenum hooked up with Johnson for two more first-half touchdowns.

After posting a 123.4 passer rating, Keenum heads into Week 10 at Arizona with momentum.
