Aaron Rodgers has responded to the criticism surrounding his activation to the New York Jets’ active roster.

Appearing on the “Pat McAfee Show,” the New York Jets’ starting quarterback spoke about the team’s decision to activate him with no intention of playing him.

“The story is simple. We lost the previous week, and again, I was targeting the week of the 24th to come back. I assumed I was going to be put on IR; I asked to be put on IR because I didn’t wanna practice at the expense of somebody getting cut,” said Rodgers.
