It’s been nearly a day since an MRI confirmed that Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles in the Jets’ Monday Night Football game against the Bills, indicating that the 39-year-old will miss the remainder of the season.
Rodgers’s injury has been the biggest headline surrounding the franchise, despite the Jets registering an overtime win against the Bills in Week 1 on Xavier Gipson’s miraculous 65-yard punt return for a touchdown. As the Jets (1–0) seek to move forward with Zach Wilson and earn another victory in Week 2, coach Robert Saleh told reporters on Wednesday he would be surprised if Monday was the last time the 39-year-old four-time NFL MVP takes the field in his career.
“I would be shocked if this is the way he's going to go out,” Saleh said, per Antwan Staley of the New York Daily News.
