NEW YORK -- It will be another season of high expectations for the New York Jets in 2024 and it will start on the road against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football on Sept. 9, the NFL announced on Tuesday.
The Jets, who are coming off an extremely disappointing 7-10 season, are expected to have Aaron Rodgers back as starting quarterback and hope, unlike in last season's opener, to keep him upright and on the field for more than just the first four plays.
Rodgers, a four-time NFL MVP and surefire Pro Football Hall of Famer, was knocked out for the season with a torn left Achilles' tendon during the Jets' first possession in the Week 1 win against the Buffalo Bills, which was also on Monday Night Football.
