Green Bay Packers’ Aaron Rodgers has broken collarbone

The Green Bay Packers’ franchise quarterback is taking a seat.

Aaron Rodgers said Tuesday he has a fractured left collarbone and has no idea yet how long he will be out.

The 2011 NFL most valuable player offered details of the injury on his weekly radio show. He was injured after being sacked by the Chicago Bears’ Shea McClellin on a third-down play during the Packers’ first series Monday while he was scrambling outside the pocket. He hurt his left, non-throwing shoulder.

“I do have a fractured collarbone. That’s a significant injury,” Rodgers said.

“We’ll know more about the severity and the timetable later this week.”

The NFL Players Assn. said it will insist on a fair investigation for all involved in the Miami Dolphins harassment case, including suspended guard Richie Incognito.

The league is investigating the relationship Incognito had with teammate Jonathan Martin, who left the team last week because of emotional issues. Incognito was suspended indefinitely by Coach Joe Philbin for his treatment of Martin.

“As the representative organization of all players, the NFLPA will insist on a fair investigation for all involved,” the union said in a statement that included no condemnation of Incognito’s conduct.

The Angels hired former shortstop Gary DiSarcina as their third base coach, and they are expected to add Rick Eckstein, the former Washington Nationals hitting coach and brother of former Angels shortstop David Eckstein, to their staff this week.

DiSarcina spent 2006-10 in the Boston Red Sox organization as an infield coordinator and Class-A manager. He spent 2011 and 2012 with the Angels as a special assistant to the general manager and field coordinator, and he returned to the Red Sox in 2013 to manage their triple-A team to an 80-63 record.

Eckstein, who was fired by the Nationals in July, is expected to fill a new hybrid position, serving as a pregame coach, advance scout and liaison to the minor leagues.
