After the QB himself addressed the lack of possibility to make a comeback for the ending weeks of the regular season, Sutterer also said, “No, It was completely unrealistic.

He further added, “This whole Saga was that Rogers expected to be cleared and saying that you will be cleared, and you’re expected to be cleared. And then come out and say no it was unrealistic to ever have been cleared back to be 100%, by the end of the regular season that’s the honest reality.
