NFL 2023 season, folks! NFL kicked things off with a bang as the Kansas City Chiefs faced off against the Detroit Lions in an epic showdown. The gridiron has been sizzling with high-stakes battles, edge-of-your-seat drama, and a few too many ‘ouch’ moments. This season, it’s been a rollercoaster for both rookies and seasoned pros, with injuries throwing curveballs left and right.

Travis Kelce’s absence hit the Chiefs like a freight train in that Lions showdown, and it showed. But hey, injuries are playing no favorites. Even the New York Jets are in the injury mix. As they gear up to take on the Buffalo Bills, it’s like they’re stepping onto the field with a question mark hanging over their heads. Injuries during training camp have left some key players sidelined, and we’re all holding our breath to see which one of the injured players suits up for the epic clash.

August brought an NFL shockwave as it was reported that Aaron Rodgers had been sidelined by an unexpected twist during training camp. A Jets defensive player, Jermaine Johnson II, blitzed in like a freight train, breaking the cardinal rule of camp. In a blink, Johnson accidentally toe-tapped A-Rod’s pinky toe. Now, at 37, the last thing Rodgers needs is a lower-body setback. Rodgers, however, didn’t break that toe, though he had to sideline himself briefly just to be sure everything was on the up and up.

This season was supposed to be the stuff of legends for Aaron Rodgers. The star quarterback made headlines when he donned that iconic New York Jets jersey, trading in his Green Bay green for the Big Apple in the off-season. Jets fans had been holding their collective breath since 2010, the last time their team saw the light of the playoffs. Rodgers, one of the league’s true maestros, was their beacon of hope, the chosen one to lead them out of the football wilderness.

This isn’t the first time Rodger’s toes have been the talk of the town. While that sentence may read somewhat bizarre on first glance, its important to note that Rodgers played with a dislocated pinky on his left foot throughout the 2021 season. While the star may be brisk on his feet he isn’t quite as nimble on his toes. That being said he is still a nail-on, for being a gamechanger this season.
