It appears that Aaron Rodgers is progressing well in recovering from his torn Achilles injury that he suffered in the Jets' season opener on Sept. 11 against the Bills.
The Jets’ account posted a video on X (formerly known as Twitter) on Sunday showing the four-time MVP being chauffeured around in a golf cart at MetLife Stadium ahead of the team’s game against the Eagles. Rodgers had his left leg slightly bent before getting off the cart and was then seen walking with a strong stride without his crutches, despite having a small limp.
On Sept. 13, the 39-year-old underwent a “speed bridge” surgery, a procedure made to enhance the standard rehabilitation process of getting back on the field and protecting the repair from the injury. While the surgery does not ensure an expedited return for Rodgers, it granted the possibility for the 10-time Pro Bowler to return by mid-January for a potential postseason should the Jets earn a playoff spot.
