Aaron Rodgers Health, Injury Updates & History

Practice window now open but far from an actual full return to the field - running at 50% weight will be the next step in his recovery - if the Jets are in playoff contention in mid-December, the team may consider putting him on the active roster

Analysis confirmed - suffered a left Achilles tendon tear on his fourth snap as a Jet - MRI will officially confirm but the team already knows - Jets have Zach Wilson and Tim Boyle as QB options going forward

By video, significant worry for left Achilles tendon tear - carted to locker room and reportedly in walking boot for his left foot - team labeled him questionable to return with an ankle injury but he will not be back - will undergo MRI tomorrow to confirm

Questionable to return with an ankle injury, per the Jets - left calf strain on Aug. 15 and right calf earlier in OTAs (late July)

To say the Jets’ hopes rely on a healthy Aaron Rodgers is the understatement of the season. While his calf injury is not a concern for the regular season, it remains to be seen whether the New York offensive line can keep him healthy for a full year. Last season, the Packers’ piecemeal offensive line had trouble protecting Rodgers. As a result, he suffered a right thumb injury that limited him for a good part of the season and affected his accuracy. The 39-year-old QB has played in every game for the past four seasons, but has also been sacked 30 or more times in four of the past five seasons.

Tweaked his calf during second day of OTAs (May 23) but issue will not affect his development or learning of the offense - minor issue with plenty of time to heal- also this is Rodgers first time in three years he has participated in OTAs, could potentially help with his relationship with his teammates and comfort with new OL and receivers

The veteran QB is nursing a thumb issue but will play like he has last few games, thumb has been broken since Week 5 but the future Hall of Famer has played on, now also dealing with a rib issue but will play through
