Aaron Rodgers had a close to five weeks’ break from the game due to a severe injury during the match against the Kansas City Chiefs at Metlife Stadium. The player is in rehabilitation, currently working on his recovery. Generally, on average, it takes 9-12 months to recover completely from an Achilles injury for a player.

However, the player has given confirmation of his comeback this year on Pat McAfee’s show. Pat had asked Rodgers if fans can expect his re-entry into the NFL sooner rather than later. Although Rodger finds it difficult to walk properly, his recovery is sightly easy for him.

Aaron has an injury on his left leg, which he doesn’t really push off when he throws. The 4x MVP has always expressed his desire to be back on the field soon and has now confirmed. Rodger said, “I’ll definitely be back for the next game but as you can see, I am in rehab right now”.

NY Jets suffering without Rodgers

It won’t be wrong if we put it forth as the Jets are suffering without their QB Aaron Rodgers in the game. Zach Wilson, who replaced Rodgers, has also struggled. The Jets just scored 10 points in the loss against the Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots. Their offense has also been down ever since Aaron’s injury.

The Jets’ current QB Zach’s performance is also not very impressive. He has thrown 467 yards, and 2 touchdowns with four interceptions. We hope for the comeback of the Jets with Aaron’s re-entry into the game. Nonetheless, Rodgers is the best player, having been awarded NFL’s most valuable player four times in his 19-season career.
