Jets 'leaving door open' for Aaron Rodgers to play this season
Medical opinion and age are two major opponents Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers needs to beat as he recovers from a torn Achilles tendon, but New York head coach Robert Saleh dares you to doubt his 39-year-old starter can be back on the field this season.
"Everything says he shouldn't be able to do this," Saleh said in an interview with NFL Network."Any medical professional, anyone who's been through an Achilles injury, they're all saying there's no way. But don't tell him that. Like I said, the more you doubt him and the more you doubt whether or not he's able to do it, I think it just fuels him.
"I'm one of those guys searching, like, 'Is he supposed to do this?'"Saleh said."I've coached Richard Sherman, who was coming off his Achilles. I've got friends who have had Achilles injuries, and what he's doing, according to them, is absolutely ridiculous. For him to be walking already, I wouldn't put anything past him. He is a big believer in manifestation. You are who you think you are, and you become what you think about.
