Everyone seems to have an opinion on Aaron Rodgers’s potential comeback from his Achilles injury, and the hosts of ESPN’s First Take are no exception.
On Friday, Stephen A. Smith gave his fiery two cents on the Rodgers situation and dragged the Jets quarterback for wanting to play football so soon after tearing his Achilles in Week 1 against the Bills. Rodgers, who turns 40 on Saturday, participated in practice for the first time since his injury on Wednesday, just 11 weeks after undergoing surgery.
His rapid recovery has been nothing short of miraculous, yet some around the league are wondering whether it’s prudent to send Rodgers back out on the field with the risk of re-injury.
