Aaron Rodgers has received the full backing from the New York Jets, who have stated that the quarterback is fully free to decide on whether he wants to play again or not if he is given the green light by the doctors.
Rodgers infamously sustained a heavy injury on his left Achilles tendon on his debut for New York back on September 11 and has been recovering ever since.
“Aaron’s a big boy, a grown man, and no one’s going to know Aaron’s body like Aaron knows his body,” coach Robert Saleh said. “And if he feels, after all the doctors clear him — and I’m sure there’s a million of them, I have no idea on that stuff — but if Aaron says he wants to play, he’s going to play.”
Rodgers has constantly stated that the goal is to return mid-December, toward the end of the year so we may see him in action very soon.
