Jets QB Aaron Rodgers 'heartbroken' in wake of Achilles tear

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, in his first public comments since his season-ending Achilles injury, said he's down, but apparently not out.

"I'm completely heartbroken and moving through all of the emotions, but deeply touched and humbled by the support and love," Rodgers wrote Wednesday in a post on his Instagram page. "Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I begin the healing process today.

"The night is darkest before the dawn. And I shall rise yet again."

Rodgers' comments came shortly after Jets coach Robert Saleh and owner Woody Johnson both indicated they expect the four-time MVP to return in 2024.
