Aaron Rodgers confirmed that he had surgery on his torn Achilles on Wednesday by posting an image of himself after the operation on his Instagram story.
The image included the Jets quarterback in a medical gown, hair net and mask on his chin as he grinned for the camera. The surgery was done by Dr. Neal S. ElAttrache of the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic in Los Angeles, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Dr. ElAttrache also did surgery on Kobe Bryant’s Achilles.
“Surgery went great yesterday,” Rodgers wrote. “Thank you for all the love and prayers and support. And thanks to the [goat] Dr. ElAttrache and his staff for starting me on the road to recovery.”
