New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers exited Monday's season opener with an injury.
reports that its panel of experts has significant worry for a left Achilles tendon tear. Take that with a grain of salt, of course. But it’s a possibility, given that an Achilles tear wouldn’t show up on a X-Ray. Speculation will continue until a diagnosis is revealed.
In his debut with his new team, the four-time MVP took hits on his first two pass attempts, then was sacked on his fourth snap by Bills edge rusher Leonard Floyd. Rodgers fell awkwardly with Jets tackle Duane Brown appearing to fall on him as well. The 39-year-old quarterback tried to walk it off before receiving medical attention.
Rodgers was walked to the medical tent, where he remained for eight minutes. A cart picked him up from the tent and drove him about 30 yards to the tunnel, which he limped into on his way to the X-Ray room. The Jets later ruled Rodgers out for the game with an ankle injury, and reported that his X-Rays were negative. He will undergo an MRI on Tuesday.
Zach Wilson entered for the Jets after Rodgers exited the game. At the half, Wilson is 5-for-7 for 41 yards and one interception. He was also sacked by Bills defensive lineman Jordan Phillips for a loss of 12 yards.Thank you for relying on us to provide the journalism you can trust.
