“So Hurt”: As Aaron Rodgers Shares Distressing Update, Pained NFL Joins the Conversation

Aaron Rodgers is maintaining a positive outlook despite enduring extreme pain, but for his fans, it’s one of the NFL’s most disheartening moments. Recall that day when the legendary A-Rod, after his move from the Green Bay Packers to the New York Jets, was eager and excited for the season, embracing the change? However, that joy has quickly turned into a nightmare for both him and his devoted fan base.

Last Monday brought immense pain to the NFL community as Rodgers suffered a devastating setback on the field within the first five minutes of the game. He was sacked by Buffalo Bills defensive end Leonard Floyd during the first drive of the first quarter. Initially diagnosed as an ankle injury, it was later confirmed to be an Achilles tendon injury, confirming the fears that had been circulating. Rodgers may now miss the entire season, with reports suggesting it will take approximately 9 to 12 months for him to recover from this injury. Amid this somber moment, A-Rod shared an emotional note, for the very first time since the season-ending incident.

Aaron Rodgers is completely heartbroken

Following his departure from the field on Monday, Aaron Rodgers couldn’t have anticipated the severity of his injury. As the NFL’s current oldest quarterback, he shared a heartfelt message on his Instagram. The MVP penned, “Thank you to every person that has reached out, called, texted, DM’d, connected through a friend, etc. It has meant a ton to me, and I’ll try and get back to all of you soon 🥹❤️.”

He went on, expressing his deep emotions, saying, “I’m completely heartbroken and moving through all of the emotions, but deeply touched and humbled by the support and love. 💔 Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I begin the healing process today. 🙏 ♾️ ❤️ The night is darkest before the dawn. And I shall rise yet again.” Additionally, the 39-year-old quarterback congratulated his team on their 22-16 victory over the Bills.
