New York Jets Key Injury Insights

As shown in the below Field View, the Jets start the season relatively healthy on both sides. 

Aaron Rodgers - SIC Health Score 93

Rodgers tore his left Achilles just four plays into his Jets tenure. Pro Football Docs expect him to be fully ready for training camp with no restrictions. He did not participate in team minicamp, which head coach Robert Saleh explicitly deemed an "unexcused absence." There is no concern over the blister scare he dealt with during OTA’s. Despite not playing in any of the Jets preseason games, Rodgers will be ready for Week 1 and is expected to have recovered fully from the Achilles tear a season ago.

San Francisco 49ers Key Injury Insights

As shown in the below Field View, the 49ers Defense is where the health mismatch stands out, but questions remain on the health of star running back Christian McCaffrey.

Christian McCaffrey - SIC Health Score 40

Ruled out of Week 1 matchup due to calf/achilles injury, clearly saving him for the rest of the season as the 49ers don't want him to re-aggravate injury and make it worse, would be lacking in burst and cutting ability which is why he is sitting, reportedly big chance he is out for Week 2 as well
