Aaron Rodgers Injury Update: Jets QB Pulls Of Highlight Reel Interception On Defense In Practice

The quarterback for the New York Jets, Aaron Rodgers, is getting closer to returning to the field for a game, though it’s unclear if that will happen this season.

 

The healing of Aaron Rodgers’ Achilles tendon is going far more quickly than many had anticipated, according to a report from Jets head coach Robert Saleh.

 

According to Saleh, Rodgers “pushed it” during Thursday’s practice, per ESPN. Between drills, Rodgers ran bootlegs, rehearsed under center, and went on jogs.

 

Positive news: according to the head coach, his quarterback “looks normal.”

 

He deserves credit for trying to rebuild his life, especially in this day and age when a hangnail can ruin a game week.

Rodgers will stay on injured reserve for the duration of the season unless the Jets activate him by next Wednesday.

After Rodgers was approved for football activities on November 29, the Jets began his 21-day practice period.

 

As he hasn’t taken part in 11-on-11 exercises, Rodgers still has a few items on his recuperation to-do list.

 

Four plays into the Jets’ opening offensive drive of the 2023 season, Rodgers tore his Achilles.

 

With an Achilles injury, he was previously observed walking much more quickly than others, dropping back and making passes on the field prior to Jets games, and he is currently practicing with the team more than before.

 

There is debate on whether Aaron Rodgers should participate and whether

he will be able to play before the regular season ends.

If the season ended today, the Jets, who are now 5-8 and in third place in the AFC East, would not be receiving the No. 13 seed in the playoffs.

 

After initially declaring that he would not play again this year if his team was

not in the postseason picture, Aaron Rodgers has since altered his mind and

stated that he intends to play again regardless of the team’s status.

 

By the time Rodgers is ready to return, the Jets might not have a chance to make

the playoffs, so starting him there runs the danger of inflicting more injuries that could affect the 2024 campaign.

 

There are just four games remaining in the regular season, so there is not much

time left to pull off a remarkable comeback.

 

New York ended a five-game losing streak last week with a 30-6 win over the Houston Texans.
