Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback for the New York Jets, has indicated that he is not yet 100% recovered from his torn left Achilles tendon. He stated that being medically cleared as 100% healed is not realistic and that he is still 'three to four weeks' from being fully healthy. Rodgers also expressed that if he were 100% healthy, he would push to play. Despite not explicitly stating that he is done for the year, it seems unlikely that he will return until next year. Rodgers has all but confirmed that his season is over, and the Jets have officially shut down his return. This news has implications for this season and next, as Rodgers has turned his sights to returning to the Jets' lineup next season. Additionally, Zach Wilson, another Jets quarterback, remains in concussion protocol, and his status for the upcoming game is uncertain.
