Jets’ Rodgers throws in prematch warmups

Only over a month after his injury to repair a torn ACL, NY Jets QB Aaron Rodgers surprised the crowd at the stadium by throwing for 5 minutes during the preclash warmups before his franchise play against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

Aaron suffered his injury in the campaign opener on September 11^th but now arrived at MetLife Stadium with no sign of crutches. About 2 hours before the beginning of the game between the Jets and Eagles, Rodgers threw to his team staff member, later giving passes to star CB Sauce Gardner, who can’t play today because of a concussion.

The 4-time MVP quarterback was stationary while throwing, but he was stepping into each pass as he landed on his recently injured leg. His passes were for 15 yards.

Rodgers surprised the fans with him being in the stadium before he shared that he plans to rehab in California and, after that, to return to New Jersey.
