Aaron Rodgers admitted to playing games while off Percs

Washington – Aaron Rodgers admitted to playing games while off Percs.

“The pain management, especially with our sport, is fascinating to see how things are ‘treated.’ I use quotations on treated because, up until probably a decade ago, it was easily accessible to get oxy, Percocet, Vicodin, whatever you wanted. … you played [on painkillers], definitely,” Rodgers said on the Joe Rogan Experience (39-minute mark).

“[I played] on Percocet. It was more for pain management, so I wasn’t taking any high dosage, but stupid, ultimately.

Here’s the thing: I had knee issues for a long time, and you take anti-inflammatories. You’re taking anti-inflammatories, they all come with a warning: If you take this more than a few weeks, you’ve gotta get your blood tested because it can do damage to your liver.

There are so many things you can take now, anti-inflammatory things, that are natural, that don’t cause damage to your body.”

Rodgers probably isn’t the only player to play an NFL game while on Percocet, but he is one of the only players to admit to doing so.

Percocet is common painkiller used to treat moderate to severe pain, and it is often used to help players treat pain they may be feeling.

The drug isn’t typically used to help players get through games, however.

Rodgers’ admission that he has done so could raise some red flags around the NFL, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see Rodgers at the center of another controversy as a result of this revelation on Rogan’s podcast.
