The San Francisco 49ers will host the New York Jets in the 2024 season’s Monday Night Football opener on Sept. 9, the league announced Tuesday.
The Jets played in last season’s first Monday night contest and lost quarterback Aaron Rodgers to a season-ending Achilles injury in his debut for the team.
After being traded to New York in a blockbuster move from the Green Bay Packers in the 2023 offseason, Rodgers suffered the injury on the Jets’ fourth offensive play of the game.
