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.”
Even after a thrilling comeback victory, which was capped by rookie Xavier Gipson returning a punt 65 yards in overtime to, there were mixed emotions in the locker room as players were questioned about the potential loss of Rodgers. Sauce Gardner said the defense felt the need to step up when Rodgers went down, saying"When we saw that, we put it all on us."
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.
