How Aaron Rodgers suffered his Achilles injury?
Aaron Rodgers’ 2023 campaign as the New York Jets quarterback seems to have ended before it even began. Following their 22-16 overtime victory against Buffalo Bills, Jets manager Robert Saleh informed reporters that the four-time NFL MVP tore his Achilles. Rodgers sustained an injury during the Jets’ opening drive on Monday night and needed assistance leaving the pitch. He was taken to the locker room after visiting the blue medical tent. Although initial reports suggested an ankle ailment alongside questionable return, the player’s negative X-ray report and MRI scan confirmed that the player won’t be able to play more in the season.
With 11:40 left in the first quarter, Rodgers was sacked by seasoned pass rusher Leonard Floyd in a first-and-10 situation. As former No. 2 overall selection Zach Wilson took over at quarterback, trainers attended to Rodgers before assisting him off the pitch. Wilson will be the one going forward, according to Coach Saleh’s postgame comments to the media. According to SportsLine’s predictions, New York’s odds of winning would significantly decrease if Rodgers were to miss the balance of the season.
How New York Jets will fare without Rodgers?
Naturally, Rodgers’ trade to the New York Jets for a first-round pick, a second-round pick, a sixth-round pick, and a conditional second-round pick in 2024 was undoubtedly the biggest NFL offseason story. If Rodgers takes 65% of the snaps in 2023, the conditional second-round pick is upgraded to a first-round pick. The Jets were looking for a quarterback with dependability, and they found one in a Super Bowl champion, five-time All-Pro, and ten-time Pro Bowler. However, until we learn more about the injuries Rodgers received, New York’s football hopes and dreams must wait.
