Unexpectedly, despite a “season-ending injury,” the New York Jets are among Aaron Rodgers’ targets this season.
Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback for the New York Jets, tore his Achilles tendon, which typically requires nine months to recover from, but perhaps not for the 39-year-old who is already without a walking boot.
Aaron Rodgers is already playing without a walking boot and is hoping to surprise everyone in the NFL this year by making a miraculous recovery from what should be a season-ending injury.
Before the New York Jets played the Kansas City Chiefs on “Sunday Night Football,” Rodgers told NBC’s Melissa Stark that his goal is to “play again this season” and that his plan is to “rejoin the team permanently after their Week 7 bye.”.
“.
The 39-year-old quarterback also mentioned that he has been rehabbing five hours per day and will have his stitches removed this week.
Using crutches and sporting an air cast, Rodgers was spotted on the sidelines of Sunday night’s game against the Chiefs.
Before meeting up with Chiefs star and Taylor Swift’s rumored boyfriend Travis Kelce, he had a conversation with the team’s owner, Woody Johnson.
This week, he surprised his teammates by unexpectedly visiting them on Saturday and giving a speech before the game in the evening.
According to numerous reports, he reportedly told the team to stop criticizing one another and start working as a team.
After being acquired by the New York Jets from the Green Bay Packers in the offseason, Rodgers suffered an Achilles tendon tear on the first drive of the season against the Buffalo Bills.
Rodgers, who was devastated, pledged to the New York Jets’ supporters that he would put forth a lot of effort to come back.
A few days after the injury, he underwent surgery, with a typical recovery time of 9 to 12 months.
But less than three weeks later, he was only wearing an air cast and walking with crutches.
It would be an incredible accomplishment for the four-time AP MVP to make a comeback just months after tearing his Achilles, demonstrating to his fans that he is recovering quickly despite already being out of a walking boot.
The Jets have fought valiantly without Rodgers at the quarterback position.
After high hopes for a Super Bowl run, they have lost their last two games and are now 1-2 despite winning their opening game against the Bills.
Given that the team’s chances of making the playoffs may be slim with quarterback Zach Wilson in place, Rodgers would probably only rejoin the squad in that scenario. The young quarterback, who had anticipated spending the season on the bench as Rodgers’ protégé and understudy, has struggled to succeed in Rodgers’ absence.
