New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is unlikely to play during the preseason this year as he continues his recovery from a torn Achilles, head coach Robert Saleh told reporters on Tuesday.
Rodgers is coming off a lost 2023 season in which he tore his Achilles four plays into the first game of the year. While he was determined to make a recovery and return during the season, he decided to remain sidelined when the Jets fell out of playoff contention.
New York acquired Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers in a blockbuster trade last year, leading many to believe that the franchise mired by years of ineptitude was finally going to turn the corner.
