Shortly after his Achilles injury, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers hinted he could return this season. Well, on Tuesday, Rodgers said that he is 'ahead of schedule' in his rehab.
Less than five weeks after rupturing his Achilles on just his fourth play of the season, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers was on the MetLife Stadium turf throwing a football. Rodgers had yet to even complete a pass for the Jets when he suffered the injury in Gang Green's first drive in the game against the Buffalo Bills on Sept. 11. But later that same week, he told the doubters to give him whatever timetables they could think of 'and then watch what I do.
Rodgers said he felt 'great' throwing, and 'had just a little bit of a limp.' 'Standing and throwing is not a problem. Moving in a small, little area is not a problem. I was excited to get back out there. It just felt a little more normal, in a time that anything has been the abnormal, anything I've tried to do. So nice to be able to be back out there,' he said.
