Aaron Rodgers Hopes To Practice In Two Weeks

12 months ago

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) is hoping he can return to the practice field in two weeks, which is only three months removed from surgery on his left Achilles. His unofficial target for a return to game action is the team's Dec. 24 game against the Washington Commanders. Rodgers has maintained throughout his recovery from a torn Achilles that his comeback is contingent upon the Jets being in playoff contention. But at 4-6 and on a three-game losing streak, those prospects don't look too good. The future Hall of Famer is 10 weeks removed from surgery and said he's jogging on an Alter G treadmill. Rodgers still needs to build strength in his heel and calf, which is prone to fatigue. He's made amazing progress, but it still feels like a long shot that we'll see Rodgers playing by the end of this season.
