The New York Jets’ quarterback Aaron Rodgers didn’t definitively say he won’t be back this season, but Rodgers, who had his 21-day practice window opened on Nov. 29, said Tuesday that he wasn’t near 100% ahead of Wednesday’s deadline to activate him off injured reserve.
“If I was 100% today, I’d definitely be pushing to play. But the fact is, I’m not,” Rodgers said on the “Pat McAfee Show,” according to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer. “I’ve been working hard to get closer … I’m still 14 weeks tomorrow from my surgery and being medically cleared as 100% healed is not realistic at 14 weeks.”
