Aaron Rodgers' Achilles injury update will fire up Jets fans

Aaron Rodgers' Achilles injury update will fire up Jets fans

By now you're familiar with the story of Aaron Rodgers, the New York Jets, and the torn achilles tendon that turned the 2023 NFL season upside-down. Just four plays into his first season with the Jets, after nearly two decades with the Green Bay Packers, the then 39-year-old Rodgers went down with one of the most devastating injuries you could conceive of. Despite flirting with the idea of coming back just months later, Rodgers missed the rest of 2023 season and has since been gearing up for his long-awaited return to the gridiron. While playing in the 35th annual American Century Championship, a celebrity golf tournament that has been held in Lake Tahoe each year since its inception, Rodgers found some time to speak with NBC Sports about how his body is feeling, and how he's approaching his return to the field, which will come on July 24th, when the Jets hold their first practice of the season.
