Heading into Week 10, the seemingly improbable in-season return of Aaron Rodgers from a torn Achilles has remained a hot topic. As the Jets star continues his rehab, the latest update on his health indicates he believes that dream is close to becoming a reality.
Rodgers, who suffered his injury in Week 1, was again a guest on the Jets’ sideline for their game against the Raiders on Sunday Night Football. During the broadcast, NBC’s Melissa Stark offered viewers some insight on the 39-year-old’s progress, which included a direct statement from Rodgers on his projected return timeline.
What is Rodgers’s goal, according to Stark? To take the field by mid-December in what would, arguably, be one of the most stunning injury recoveries of all time.
