New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh confirmed that quarterback Aaron Rodgers is fully participating in organized team activities (OTAs) without any restrictions. Rodgers, who is recovering from a torn Achilles tendon and surgery, has been actively involved in all drills, including 11-on-11 and 7-on-7 sessions. He completed 8 of 10 passes in team drills, including touchdown passes to Xavier Gipson and Garrett Wilson, and was perfect in 7-on-7 drills. His footwork and dropbacks seem fine, although he mostly threw short passes. Saleh also addressed the role of offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, confirming that Hackett will remain the primary play-caller despite offseason speculation about his potential replacement. Additionally, Saleh mentioned that Rodgers' return to form is crucial for the team's success this season.
