Four-time NHL MVP Aaron Rodgers promises to “rise yet again” in a social media post on Wednesday, two days after he suffered a shocking season-ending tear to his left Achilles tendon.
The New York Jets quarterback was just four plays in when he fell on the ground with the serious injury that will keep him away from the game for a very long time.
“I’m completely heartbroken and moving through all of the emotions, but deeply touched and humbled by the support and love,” Rodgers said. “Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I begin the healing process today. The night is darkest before the dawn. And I shall rise yet again.”

“Proud of my guys, 1-0,” Rodgers said in the post, which included photos of him from the game.
Future Hall of Famer Rodgers joined the Jets in a blockbuster offseason deal after 18 seasons with the Green Bay Packers.
