Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been hampered by a left knee injury through the first two weeks of the season, and the two-time MVP is worried that the pain will only get worse.

"Yeah, obviously that's a concern," Rodgers said, per ESPN's Rob Demovsky. "Hopefully it goes the other way though.

Rodgers was injured in the first half of the Packers' Week 1 home game vs. the Chicago Bears. He had to be carted off, and the immediate concern was that Rodgers had already suffered a season-ending knee injury.

But in typical Rodgers fashion, he came back into the game and helped Green Bay erase a 20-0 deficit, leading the Packers to a 24-23 victory. Rodgers had limited mobility in Week 2 against the Minnesota Vikings, but he still managed 30 completions for 281 yards and a touchdown against one of the league's best defenses.

Rodgers and the Packers visit the 1-1 Washington Redskins this Sunday. Per Demovsky, Rodgers will likely be limited in practice over time to try and avoid putting more stress on the knee.

"I'll just adjust accordingly to how I'm feeling and try to get through," Rodgers said. "It just depends on how the week goes with the rehab and the recovery. Obviously, I'd love to be better than I was last week as far as health-wise but there's some factors that are out of my control."

The Packers' playoff hopes fall squarely on the health of Rodgers. When he went down with a collarbone injury in the midst of the 2013 season, the Packers fell apart and almost missed the playoffs. Rodgers returned in time for Week 17 and helped them clinch the NFC North.

After a promising 4-1 start to the 2017 season, Rodgers suffered a collarbone fracture and didn't return until Week 15. By then, the Pack had fallen out of the playoff race, and the decision was made to shut down Rodgers for the season.

Rodgers is healthy enough to play at a high level, but the concern is if his knee will go out if he keeps putting too much stress on it. The Packers simply have to be cautious with this as the season progresses, because they can't afford to lose him long term.
