Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers thinks it's time the NFL mandated the use of natural grass surfaces across all NFL games but he doesn't have high hopes that it will happen.

Speaking on Tuesday with the media, the Green Bay quarterback said, “No, honestly, I don't have a lot of confidence when it comes to the league making that decision without some sort of big vote and gripes from certain owners who don't want to spend the money.”

The Green Bay Packers won on Sunday, beating the Dallas Cowboys 31-28 but that didn't matter as they still released Amari Rodgers on Tuesday.

The second-year punt returner fumbled a third-quarter punt return against Dallas that later Cowboys running back, Tony Pollard, would convert into a touchdown four plays later. The fumble was Rodgers' fifth fumble in 2022.

 

Rams' Kupp To Have Ankle Surgery

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said on Tuesday that star wide receiver Cooper Kupp will have ankle surgery on Wednesday and be placed on injured reserve.
Kupp will miss at least four games on injured reserve, but McVay did not rule the receiver out for the rest of the season.
