Aaron Rodgers is being activated from the injured reserve list on Wednesday, but the quarterback will not play again this season for the New York Jets.
Coach Robert Saleh said the move is merely the next step in Rodgers’ rehabilitation from a torn left Achilles tendon. The Jets had until Wednesday to activate Rodgers — whose 21-day practice window began Nov. 29 — or he would revert back to IR for the rest of the season.
Saleh said the Jets have roster flexibility, so they could add Rodgers to their 53-man active squad.
