Aaron Rodgers only added to the speculation about his possible return for the Jets this season following their loss to the Chargers.
As players and coaches shook hands postgame, Chargers safety Derwin James Jr. embraced Rodgers and asked, “When you coming back, man?”
“Give me a few weeks,” Rodgers said, before James then told Rodgers that he saw his throwing workout before the Jets’ 27-6 loss.
Rodgers’ latest comment didn’t make the timeline for his recovery from a torn Achilles any more concrete, but a few weeks — if the 39-year-old meant the word using its definition — would take him to Week 12 or Week 13, when the Jets host the Dolphins and Falcons, respectively.
Perhaps it was intentionally vague.
Perhaps Rodgers knew the cameras were recording and was bluffing.
Or, perhaps, he’s serious and starting to narrow the window for his return.
