The last few weeks have been pretty tough for NFL superstars.

After already losing Odell Beckham Jr. and JJ Watt to season-ending injuries during Week 5, the NFL lost another big name the following week as Aaron Rodgers suffered a season-ending injury against the Minnesota Vikings.

Five days after breaking his collarbone against the Vikings, the Green Bay Packers quarterback shared his first post on social media since undergoing surgery and it looks like the operation was a success.

Surgery went well. Thanks for all the love, support, thoughts and prayers. #comebackstartsnow #riseagain #

Rodgers is not expected to return this season, but the Packers are keeping their fingers crossed as Green Bay currently sits tied for first in the NFC North with the Minnesota Vikings.
