After losing Aaron Rodgers to an ankle injury early in Monday’s season opener, Jets coach Robert Saleh strongly indicated following the game that the star quarterback may be in for a dire diagnosis regarding his Achilles in the coming days.
A wild 22–16 overtime home win over the Bills took a backseat moments after the final whistle, with glaring questions surrounding Rodgers, who exited four snaps into New York’s opening drive after taking a sack from Buffalo’s Leonard Floyd.
With Rodgers seen wearing a walking boot despite receiving negative X-rays, Saleh announced the club fears the 39-year-old’s upcoming MRI on Tuesday could confirm the team’s reported belief of a worst-case scenario: a torn Achilles.
