FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- There will be no preseason action this summer for New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, meaning his first post-injury game reps will happen in the season opener Sept. 9 against the San Francisco 49ers.

Rodgers was ruled out for Saturday night's game against the New York Giants, coach Robert Saleh announced Thursday. Saleh said they will employ the same plan they did in the first two games, meaning no starters will play.

The star quarterback's return -- on "Monday Night Football" -- will occur two days shy of the one-year anniversary of his torn Achilles.
