Aaron Rodgers tore his right Achilles tendon on the first drive of the Jets‘ season, and now, Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins finds himself in the same boat.
The veteran Minnesota quarterback tore his right Achilles tendon on Oct. 29 and has been recovering since. Impressively, Rodgers already is expected to be cleared by the Jets medical staff this week.
Cousins wanted to speak to someone who’s been through the recovery process before, so he reached out to Rodgers the day before his surgery, he told ESPN’s Adam Schefter this week. The two quarterbacks have spoken loosely about the injury process since.
