“Rise to Recovery”: As the Jets Prepare for Pivotal Broncos Test, Star QB Aaron Rodgers Drops Major Update on His Comeback

The Jets have not had the easiest of starts in the NFL in 2023. After losing their man, Aaron Rodgers, inside the 1st quarter on the first Sunday of the season, the Jets have struggled. Following A-Rod’s injury and their miraculous win against the Bills, Zach Wilson and the New York Jets have lost all three games on the bounce. They can only hope for a fortunes change in their upcoming match against the Denver Broncos.

The matchup holds high stakes for both sides as they head into Empower Field, hoping to edge out the other to kick-start their campaign. But with Aaron Rodgers’ latest update, do the Jets have the edge over their AFC West counterparts?

Is Aaron Rodgers set to arrive in Colorado?

The biggest story of the NFL season so far has been the shock injury to Aaron Rodgers. After tearing his Achilles within four plays, the Jets’ worst nightmare has seemingly come true. Rodgers had taken the Big Apple by storm with his public appearances and effect on the training pitch. This was evidently noticed when the 39-year-old touched down last week for the crucial matchup against the Chiefs, which inevitably ended in a loss. The odds are improbable, but there still exists a small chance Aaron Rodgers could join the sidelines in Denver.

Although there isn’t a fixed date for his return, the quarterback’s recovery and rehab have only brought forward positive updates. The latest update on his Instagram will only add fuel to the belief that A-Rod is set to come back this season, possibly before the end of this year. In the post, Aaron Rodgers is working out as part of the rehab regiment as well as using crutches to help him move and walk. He captioned the post with firm words: “Three weeks into the rise to recovery. #healing”.

The update has fans riling up and chiming for his comeback, with one fan going so far as to say, “Comeback of the century”. Meanwhile, the injury has put pressure on the backup to step up to the gridiron.

New York Jets pin their hopes on Zach Wilson

With the injury to the 39-year-old QB, Zach Wilson has been thrust into the spotlight to step up. Although the updates aren’t entirely heartwarming, Wilson has shown signs of being capable of leading the Jets. After inspiring the Jets for a heroic comeback against the Bills, his slump saw the Jets lose the next two games. But last time out, Wilson shone brightly against the Chiefs, performing admirably.

The sense of unity among the squad has continued to flourish, but no one can guess how long it’ll last. This matchup will mean something significant for OC Nathaniel Hackett since his departure from the Broncos led him to the Jets earlier this year. He has come forward to back the QB and showered praise on his resilience amidst the noise. But it all comes down to what Zach Wilson can produce on the pitch.

The Aaron Rodgers comeback to the sidelines, no matter how minuscule, still holds a chance of coming true. Whether it actually happens, the fans will have to wait and see when the Broncos take on the Jets at Empower Field.
