However, there’s one unfortunate incident that keeps on doing rounds amongst the NFL fraternity. The moment can be called one of the defining incidents of the ongoing NFL season.

Rob Gronkowski sheds light on the A-Rod injury

The much-hyped transfer of Aaron Rodgers from the Packers to his debut for the Jets was short-lived. The 39-year-old quarterback tore his left Achilles tendon within the first quarter. The GOAT’s injury has since then caused an uproar in the media. Rob recently entered the chat when he was asked about the same on the Up & Adams Show. The former tight end gave his two cents about the same. He said “That is a tough situation. I mean with the Aaron Rodgers’ injury. It just shocked everyone. From the fans to the head coach, it’s just making it hard. That’s what it’s doing.” 

The 4X SB champion didn’t shy away from reeking into the impact of A-Rod’s injury within the Jets’ camp. Moreover, the player’s views showed that he too was concerned about the QB’s injury and highlighted how it was hampering the team’s performance. He brought to light the Jets’ issues that have cropped up since the injury. “The defense is making it harder than the team and I gotta go with how the players are feeling. You know how the defense is feeling…..At the moment it’s the players who are on the field playing the game and if they’re disgruntled. They’re not going to perform to the highest they can perform.”  For A-Rod, there’s positive news for his fans.

A-Rod was seen walking with crutches 

Aaron Rodgers is on the road to recovery weeks after his season-ending injury. Recently, he was pictured walking in crutches for the first time since getting injured in Week 1. This came in days after he gave a huge update to a fellow NFL legend. These are positive signs going forward for the player and the Jets team.

Hopefully, his off-field recovery bears fruits and he comes back to the field next season. If there’s one thing that defines the Aaron Rodgers of old is his ability to match his words with action. Undergoing a successful surgery during Week 2, it’s another great sign that the 5X SB MVP is getting back to his best!

Rob Gronkowski gave a clear picture of the future HOF’s loss. In describing the situation from the Jets’ teammates and management’s side, his absence is surely being missed. Fans would hope that the side gathers form in the upcoming matchups and delivers results.
