Aaron Rodgers ran onto the field carrying an American flag ahead of his eagerly anticipated his debut with the New York Jets.
Rodgers’ season ended after just four snaps. Those realistic Super Bowl dreams turned into another nightmare for long-suffering Jets fans once it became clear Rodgers tore his left Achilles tendon.
An impressive comeback victory over turnover-prone Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills couldn’t hide the reality that the Jets will not have the four-time NFL MVP under center this season.The road to recovery for players coming off a torn Achilles is long and arduous. If he decides to play, Rodgers would be trying a comeback at age 40. Considering he’s contemplated retirement the past few years, it’s unknown whether he will even want to return.
Typically, it takes players 9-12 months to recover from surgery for a torn Achilles. Some athletes have returned sooner. “Studies have shown that age is the strongest predictor of outcome after an Achilles repair,” said Dr. Peter DeLuca, Chief of Sports Medicine at Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center who spent more than 20 years as the team physician for the Philadelphia Eagles and Philadelphia Flyers.
