Packers QB Aaron Rodgers done for season, put on IR UNC women’s hoops coach Sylvia Hatchell nets 1,000th win

Aaron Rodgers is done for the season.

The Green Bay Packers put their star quarterback on injured reserve Tuesday, a day after they were eliminated from playoff contention.

Rodgers missed seven games after breaking his right collarbone Oct. 15 against Minnesota. He returned on Sunday, but the Packers lost 31-24 at Carolina. Atlanta’s win against Tampa Bay on Monday night ended Green Bay’s eight-year run of consecutive postseason berths.

Brett Hundley will get the start for Green Bay in Saturday’s home game against the Vikings. Joe Callahan was signed as his backup.

The Packers also released fullback Joe Kerridge from the active roster and quarterback Jerod Evans from the practice squad.

North Carolina coach Sylvia Hatchell has become the third women’s Division I coach to net her 1,000th career victory.

Hatchell’s Tar Heels beat Grambling State 7963 on Tuesday. Hatchell, who battled leukemia and was declared cancer-free in 2014, is 1,000376 during a 43-year career that started with 11 seasons at Francis Marion.

This is her 32nd season at North Carolina, and she has led the Tar Heels to eight ACC titles, three Final Fours and the 1994 national championship.

Jamie Cherry scored 22 points and Janelle Bailey added 15 for the Tar Heels (10-2), who shot 47 percent and outscored the Tigers 60-40 over the final three quarters after falling behind early.
