Aaron Rodgers is planning to return from a torn Achilles in December and his first game back from the injury could very well be on Christmas Eve against the Commanders, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
“Here’s my understanding after talking to several people involved in the situation,” Rapoport said Sunday. “The most likely spot that Aaron Rodgers could return would be the December 24th game against the Commanders.”
If Rapoport is accurate, that would mean Rodgers would be back in Week 16, giving him three more regular season games before the playoffs. Of course, this would only happen if Rodgers could protect himself and if the Jets were still in the playoff hunt.
