Rodgers throws TD, leaves with injury

GREEN BAY, Wis. - Aaron Rodgers threw the game's first touchdown to Randall Cobb as the Packers advance to a 14-0 lead over Detroit on Sunday.

Seconds later, he was down.

Rodgers rolled right from the pocket on the throw, a 4 yard touchdown, and after the release tumbled to the turf, holding his left leg. 

He was helped off the field after the play by two trainers and minutes later taken from the field to the team's locker room on a cart.

Green Bay's signal caller injured his left calf in the team's victory at Tampa last Sunday, and this week the Packers activated all three of their quarterbacks. 

Rodgers was a full participant in practice over the past week, though did not go at "full speed," according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

Micah Hyde returned a punt 55 yards for a Packers touchdown as both sides fight for the top spot in the NFC North. Detroit is yet to win at Lambeau Field since 1991.
