New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ goal is to return from his Achilles injury in mid-December, the four-time NFL MVP recently told Melissa Stark of NBC Sports.
Rodgers – who was traded to New York from the Green Bay Packers during the offseason – tore his left Achilles tendon four snaps into his Jets debut in Week 1.
Though the team announced that the 39-year-old was expected to miss the remainder of the season in September, Rodgers has teased a potential return on multiple occasions. He originally didn’t rule out playing in the playoffs and reportedly underwent an innovative Achilles surgery to accelerate getting back onto the field.
