Members of the New York Jets discussed the possibility Aaron Rodgers having suffered a potentially serious Achilles injury on the team’s first possession of the season.
“So, prayers tonight," Saleh said after Monday night's game."But it's not good.”
“I have so much love for Aaron, so my heart goes out to him,” said Zach Wilson, who replaced Rodgers and went on to connect with Garrett Wilson for a game-tying touchdown with 4:55 remaining in regulation. “I know he’ll find a way to keep working to get back, but it’s tough. That hurts us as a team. But my job as quarterback is I gotta step up and I gotta be able to be as efficient as I can in that offense.
The Jets acquired Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers in April, along with a 2023 fifth-round pick, in exchange for a 2023 second-rounder, a 2023 sixth-rounder and a conditional 2024 second-rounder. Shortly after, the Jets also signed two of Rodgers' favorite targets in Green Bay, Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb, who now face the likelihood of playing without the quarterback who helped bring them to town.
