The buzz surrounding Rodgers and his move to the Jets had been the focal point of the offseason, reaching its peak in the hours leading up to Monday night’s game.
The New York Jets are concerned that Aaron Rodgers may be sidelined for the entire season following a left ankle injury, which also likely involves his Achilles tendon. Rodgers was injured after he was tackled by Leonard Floyd from the Buffalo Bills in the fourth play of his challenging debut with the New York Jets.
His debut with his new team was cut short just minutes after it had started, and there are concerns that it might prematurely end his season as well. He is scheduled to undergo an MRI scan on Tuesday to assess the extent of the injury before a decision is taken by the New York Jets.
Not a Memorable Start to the Season
Rodgers was carted away for an X-Ray, which returned negative, but coach Robert Saleh admitted that „it’s not good‘ and that he thinks Rodgers has an Achilles injury.“ There are significant fears that this injury could indeed bring an end to his season.
„He’s dealing with an ankle right now, he’s getting checked out,“ coach Robert Saleh told ESPN’s Lisa Salters on the live „Monday Night Football“ broadcast.
„We’ll know more later. We still have a hell of a group of guys… we’ll get this thing done.“
Leonard Floyd, the edge rusher for the Buffalo Bills, sacked Aaron Rodgers.
Rodgers dropped back and attempted to roll out to his left on the first down from the Jets‘ 43-yard-line.
