The anticipated moment for Aaron Rodgers’ alleged comeback is approaching.
The New York Jets are scheduled to initiate the 21-day practice window for Aaron Rodgers starting Wednesday, as confirmed by head coach Robert Saleh.
Rodgers has been sidelined since September 11 due to a torn Achilles sustained during the Jets’ first possession of the season. Initially believed to be out for the entire year, Rodgers has expressed the desire to defy expectations by making a late-season return.
Within the next three weeks, Rodgers must be activated, or his season will be forfeited. Currently standing at 4-7 with six games remaining, the Jets face the challenge of running the table if they aspire to stay in the playoff race by the time Rodgers is potentially ready to play.

Their upcoming game against the Atlanta Falcons this Sunday at 1 p.m. ET will be a crucial point in the season. The outcome will be regionally televised by FOX, with Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma providing the commentary.
Despite the ongoing speculation, the prospects of Aaron Rodgers returning this season appear less likely following each successive Jets loss.
