Aaron Rodgers And The Mystery Tent

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Was anybody else wondering what the heck Aaron Rodgers was doing in that little tent in the sidelines?

The internet was certainly curious.

Former Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk revealed on Twitter that the tent is for bathroom breaks and privacy for injuries.

He was correct, as Rodgers admitted after the game that he needed to "drop his drawers" to get taped up after injuring his hamstring.

"I had to drop my drawers a little bit to get taped up and just wanted to do it in the privacy of that tent," said Rodgers.

Mechanical engineers at the University of Alabama actually came up with the medical tent idea, which is now being used by college and professional football teams.

It worked for Rodgers, who did not miss a snap. He finished the game 30-39 with 313 yards, 2 touchdowns, and no interceptions as the Packers beat the Eagles 27-13.
