The Jets' Aaron Rodgers and the Chargers' J.K. Dobbins, formerly of the Ravens, both tore their Achilles tendon in season opener last year and recovered together.
J.K. Dobbins would never say his triumphant return to the field one year after suffering a torn Achilles was satisfying. The Chargers running back wouldn’t even say that rushing for 135 yards and one touchdown on 10 carries against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 1 was emotional. He has bigger plans. “I knew that's how hard I worked,” Dobbins said after the game. “I knew it was going to show. I knew my prayers were going to be answered.
According to a study published in the International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy, 22 NFL players suffered Achilles tendon ruptures during the 2023 season. The prevalence of Achilles tears in the NFL has increased between three- and five-fold. Dobbins suffered the injury the same week as New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who then became a partner as the pair rehabbed together during the season. Rodgers and Dobbins traded barbs about who was putting in more work.
