An MRI Tuesday morning has reportedly confirmed the Jets’ worst fears: Aaron Rodgers is done for the season with a torn Achilles tendon.
The Jets’ staff was quick to identify Rodgers’s injury as an Achilles issue and coach Robert Saleh spoke immediately after the game as if the results of the MRI were a foregone conclusion. One video of Rodgers’s injury perhaps indicates how the Achilles tear was able to identified so quickly. A video shot from the end zone shows the back of Rodgers’s calf ripple as he is tackled by the Bills’ Leonard Floyd—an unfortunately clear indicator of a torn Achilles.
