The Jets, of course, have been without Aaron Rodgers since he tore his right Achilles tendon four plays into their season opener. He was seen moving around pretty well before Monday night’s game. After the final whistle mics picked up Rodgers telling Chargers safety Derwin James that he’ll be back in “a few weeks.”

Rodgers might have been just goofing around, but it has been impressive to see how far he’s already come in his recovery. 

UPDATE: Rodgers told Pat McAfee on Tuesday afternoon that he was just goofing around:

Jets fans, though, probably wish he’d be back this coming Sunday when they travel to Las Vegas to face the Raiders. Kickoff between the Jets (4-4) and Raiders (4-5) is scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET Sunday at Allegiant Stadium.
