On the opening drive of his debut with the New York Jets in September, Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles tendon, and it appeared that he would miss the remainder of the campaign.
Before the Jets’ 23-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night, NBC’s Melissa Stark offered some encouragement to the team’s supporters.
Stark remarked on the show, “He told me that he was medically cleared to fly and came in last night.” He caught the team off guard at their hotel. Only Robert Saleh was aware of his approach. He had to be here, according to Rodgers. He intended to reassure the players that there are still three games left and to disregard the commotion. This week, he intends to take a flight back to California to have his sutures taken out and to resume therapy intensively for more than five hours each day.
“His goal is to make a long-term comeback after the team’s Week 7 bye. He also stated that his intention is to play this season again.
For the first time since the injury, Rodgers was at MetLife Stadium.
On “The Pat McAfee Show” last month, the Jets quarterback stated that he was concentrating on his health and did not want to provide a timetable for his rehabilitation.
Rodgers declared, “I don’t want to be caught in the chronology. “Honestly, all I want is to become physically and mentally fit. But I’m going to exert every effort in terms of my rehabilitation to put myself in a situation where I can eventually be prepared to play football once more. That is the aim. There were definitely a lot of questions after this incident, such as, “Is that it?” If you cash it in, are you done?
I simply don’t feel like myself. I’ll therefore place myself in a situation where I can play again and then wait to find out when that is.
