GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Even in defeat, quarterback Aaron Rodgers was sharp when the Green Bay Packers needed him most.Despite the Packers 33-32 loss to Atlanta on Sunday, there were other positives from the passing game.Most important was the play of Rodgers, who had one of his best performances of the season despite the injuries the Packers had on offense.Rodgers threw for 246 yards and four touchdowns and added a career-high 60 rushing yards to pace an offense without receivers Randall Cobb and Ty Montgomery, running backs Eddie Lacy and James Starks, and tight end Jared Cook.I think he did a really good job of taking what they gave us, coach Mike McCarthy said on Monday.The three-man rush, he extended plays and ran it for first downs, so that was very important. The rushing yards are what they are. You dont want your quarterback to be your leading rusher, but it was still extremely productive for us.Rodgers had a 100-plus passer rating in each of the past two games, a first since the first three weeks of the 2015 season.He did it on Sunday without Montgomery and Cobb, who combined for 21 receptions in the victory over Chicago on Oct. 20, and without the benefit of a running game with Lacy (ankle) and Starks (knee) sidelined.On Monday, the Packers released Knile Davis two weeks after acquiring him from the Kansas City Chiefs for a conditional draft choice. Davis had five carries for 5 yards in two games with the Packers.With an inexperienced supporting cast, Rodgers threw touchdown passes to receivers Jeff Janis, Trevor Davis and Geronimo Allison, with Davis and Allison making their first receptions of the season.Receiver Davante Adams caught 12 passes for 74 yards after making 13 receptions the previous week against Chicago.Wed love to get Jared back soon (and), obviously, Randall and Ty, getting those guys back would help, Rodgers said after the game. Personally, Im just really proud of those guys who made plays today.The Packers host Indianapolis on Sunday before a stretch of three straight road games: Tennessee, Washington and Philadelphia.Help might be close to being on the way.Montgomery was held out after blood was discovered in his urine. He said on Monday that he has sickle cell trait. This was the first time, Montgomery said, that he had blood in his urine.You may be living with sickle-cell trait and not even know it, Montgomery said. Not everybody experiences the symptoms, and I did.McCarthy said Montgomery wanted to play and went through a pregame workout, but the medical staff took the high side of caution and ruled him out.According to the American Society of Hematology, between 1 million and 3 million Americans have sickle cell trait. Most live normal lives, but high-intensity physical activity can lead to complications.I dont see any risks, Montgomery said. It doesnt concern me.McCarthy said Cook made a big step toward getting back last week as he recovers from an ankle injury sustained in Week 3 vs. Detroit, though its unclear if the tight end will start practicing this week.

I was pretty fired up. Its really hard watching your teammates play.Motley missed the season opener for Baylor (2-0) after violating an NCAA rule by playing in an improper summer league game.Trailing by 10 at the break, Oregon (1-1) got within 33-32 on Chris Bouchers dunk to cap a second half-opening 9-0 run. The Ducks had the ball again with the chance to go ahead after Dylan Ennis steal, but then turned it over.That led to Ishmail Wainrights layup from Matt Lecomtes ally-oop pass, and Baylor started to stretch the lead again.Lecomte had 18 points on 6-of-9 shooting that included four 3-pointers. Jo Lual-Acuil grabbed 14 rebounds and had seven blocked shots for Baylor.Ennis led Oregon with 16 points, and Boucher finished with 12. Jordan Bell had 11 rebounds.The Ducks quickly led 3-0 when Boucher hit from long range on the games first shot, before they then missed six in a row. Motley made his first shot of the season and Manu Lecomte a buzzer-beating 3-pointer, and Baylor never trailed again.Didnt play very well, and didnt make plays for each other, so weve got a tremendous amount of work to do, Oregon coach Dana Altman said. Its difficult (without Brooks), but thats the way it goes. ... Theres no doubt hes a good player, but weve got some other good players that didnt play very well.BIG PICTUREOregon: While the Ducks were able to get past Army in their opener without Brooks, they clearly couuld have used their standout forward against the Bears, who dominated inside.ddddddddddddOregon struggled shooting at 33 percent (19 of 58) from the field and got outrebounded 41-30. Dillons a good rebounder but hes not going to make that difference up, said Altman, who wouldnt say when Brooks might return.Baylor: The Bears are 4-7 in their last 11 games against top-five teams. Maybe this will get the notice of poll voters. The Bears, picked to finish in the middle of the tough Big 12, havent been getting any votes so far this season.ZONE FACTORAsked about the difficulty of facing Baylors zone defense, Altman responded, Well, we did pretty good last year, we just didnt do good this year. Oregon beat Baylor 74-67 at home last November.BIG FACTORBaylors lead was only one midway through the first half when the 7-foot Lual-Acuil blocked a shot and was pumping his arms near midcourt after making a pass to Wendell Mitchell for a layup. Lual-Acuil made the next basket when he posted right under the goal, and got an inbound pass from Lecomte. I was trying to be a factor somehow, Lual-Acuil said. I knew my shots werent falling so I just tried to figure out different way of helping the team.HE SAID ITA lot of times, you play in big games and you play out of character, youre too nervous, youre too excited, Drew said. Weve played against a lot of good Big 12 teams in the top five that have beaten us. And I think we did a good job of staying poisedUP NEXTOregon played the first of five games in nine days. The Ducks are home Thursday night to play Valparaiso, where Drew was previously a head coach -- after his father and before his brother.Baylor is home for its third consecutive game to start the season, against Florida Gulf Coast on Friday night.
