This is not how the New York Jets envisioned the start of the Aaron Rodgers era.
The future Hall of Famer was helped off the field with an ankle injury during the team's first offensive possession of the game. He went into the injury tent, where he was met with the cart.
The Jets announced he was questionable to return.
A number of NFL players reacted to the developments:
