Aaron Rodgers seems unlikely to return to play for the Jets this season, primarily due to his ongoing recovery from the Achilles tear he suffered in the first Jets game. In an interview on “The Pat McAfee Show,” the 40-year-old quarterback mentioned that he is not yet fully recovered and anticipates needing three to four more weeks to be ready for gameplay.
Despite the Jets being officially out of playoff contention, Rodgers expressed his desire to give the team two seasons. However, he considers the current season a lost opportunity due to his injury.
Looking ahead, Rodgers doesn’t believe that next year will mark his last season. While he acknowledges that circumstances can change rapidly, especially considering the prevalent quarterback injuries in football, he is optimistic about continuing beyond the upcoming season.
