 Rodgers, 32, has spent the past week at the AT&T Pebble Beach
Pro-Am, playing with Wisconsin PGA pro Jerry Kelly.
"It was just good to be out there walking normally," Rodgers said,
via USA TODAY Sports. "It feels great. It's nice to not have any
clunking around or anything, so it was good."
Rodgers said he had a scope performed on his knee soon after Green
Bay's 26-20 overtime loss on Jan. 16 to the Arizona Cardinals in the
NFC divisional playoffs.

Former University of Texas and Houston Oilers great Earl Campbell is
hoping to sit down with troubled Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny
Manziel.
Campbell and Manziel, who played at Texas A&M, are both from Tyler,
Texas, and former Heisman Trophy winners.
The 60-year-old Hall of Fame running back told ESPN that a friend
affiliated with Texas A&M asked him to speak with Manziel.
Campbell said he also has reached out to Texas A&M head coach Kevin
Sumlin and the two of them exchanged messages last week.
"We gotta get him some help," Campbell told ESPN. "I know everybody
says that, but if you've never been there, how can you listen to
someone?
"I think some former Heisman winners like myself, some Hall of
Famers that have done it all, he should sit down and listen to what
we have to say because we've been through it all."
Manziel, a first-round draft pick by the Cleveland Browns, has
struggled to stay out of trouble since entering the NFL in 2014.

Ken Whisenhunt, returning to the San Diego Chargers as offensive
coordinator, wants to develop a strong running game in 2016.
Whisenhunt spent one season as the Chargers' offensive coordinator
under head coach Mike McCoy in 2013 before being hired as head coach
of the Tennessee Titans in 2014.
The Chargers' offense struggled in the two seasons since Whisenhunt
left. Whisenhunt was fired by the Titans on Nov. 3 after a 3-20
record as Tennessee coach, including 1-6 last season.
Whisenhunt now returns as the Chargers' new offensive coordinator
with an aim to improve the Chargers' run game, which fell to 30th
and 31st in the league the past two seasons. (Editing by Larry Fine)
