Aaron Rodgers, the star Jets quarterback, injured an ankle during his first regular-season series with the team and will not return to Monday night’s game against the Buffalo Bills, the team said, zapping the excitement built during the off-season after Rodgers’s arrival.
On the Jets’ third official offensive play, left tackle Duane Brown missed a block against Bills linebacker Leonard Floyd. Rodgers tried to escape, but Floyd sacked Rodgers and rolled his lower body as they both went to the ground. Rodgers stood up, but soon sat down and rocked on his back, appearing to slightly grimace in pain.
