Against significant odds, it appears that Aaron Rodgers may complete his historic in-season recovery from a torn Achilles.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Jets quarterback is “likely to be medically cleared to play this week upcoming.”
That doesn’t necessarily mean that New York will throw Rodgers back under center for the team’s game against the Commanders on Dec. 24, but it represents another impressive step forward for the veteran signal caller. Schefter reports that the decision to play Rodgers may depend on whether the Jets are still mathematically alive to make the playoffs after this weekend’s game at the Dolphins.
