Aaron Rodgers crashed to the turf at MetLife Stadium Monday night in the fourth play of his first drive as a New York Jet. And the Jets may have lost him for the season.
Rodgers, who joined the Jets after 17 Hall of Fame years in Green Bay, fell to the turf after being sacked by Bills edge rusher Leonard Floyd.
Aaron Rodgers injury appears to be either Lisfranc foot injury, ankle sprain or possibly even Achilles. Similar mechanism to JK Dobbins injury Sunday.
Best case is ankle sprain. Will miss several weeks best case. pic.twitter.com/MQFjdPHxCX— Dr. Mark Adickes (@jocktodoc) September 12, 2023
The extent of Rodgers’ injury has not been publicly released. However, it is believed he may have suffered a rupture of the Achilles.
X was quick to react to the shocking development.
