After two months of recovery from injury, perhaps symbolically on 12/12, the quarterback who wears No. 12 for the Green Bay Packers says he is back.
Aaron Rodgers shared this message on Instagram, where he says he is medically cleared to play football after missing about seven full games due to a broken collarbone.

Rodgers suffered a hit by Minnesota’s Anthony Barr on Oct. 15 which led to a broken collarbone.
The Packers went 3-4 without him, as Brett Hundley went under center to direct the offensive attack.
However, with Rodgers medically cleared, the team has playoff hopes with three games left.
The Packers shared the news themselves later.

There were reports Tuesday that the broken collarbone was not fully healed, and that Rodgers and Packers brass were discerning with philosophical differences whether he should still be cleared or not.
