Aaron Rodgers To Return For The Postseason?

Aaron Rodgers To Return For The Postseason?

one year ago

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) hopes to return in time for the postseason, assuming the team makes it that far. The veteran signal-caller, who was traded to New York during the offseason, ruptured his Achilles only four snaps into his tenure with the Jets. However, after it appeared all was lost, Rodgers underwent an "innovative" procedure on Wednesday known as a "Speed Bridge," performed by "renowned orthopedic surgeon" Dr. Neal ElAttrache. While the news doesn't mean much for fantasy managers regarding the 2023-24 campaign, it likely means that Rodgers isn't planning on calling it quits anytime soon. It's also a good sign concerning his availability for OTAs and training camp next offseason. For now, Zach Wilson is expected to handle things under center moving ahead.
