Jets' Jeff Ulbrich: Aaron Rodgers will 'absolutely' start vs. Seahawks

While quarterback Aaron Rodgers' long-term future with the New York Jets remains a question mark, the short term is clear.

Rodgers will "absolutely" start Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks, according to interim coach Jeff Ulbrich, who said Monday there has been no internal discussion about shutting him down for the remainder of the season.

The Jets (3-8), coming off their bye week, are close to mathematical elimination. That, coupled with Rodgers' sub-par season and various leg ailments from early in the season, has prompted reports about the possibility of him being benched or placed on injured reserve.
