Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers missed the team’s mandatory minicamp because he had a pre-planned trip to Egypt, sources told SNY.
Rodgers attended every day of the team’s Phase 1 voluntary workouts. He missed one week of Phase 2 but attended every organized team activity workout – also voluntary.
Rodgers originally pieced this trip together during his recovery from his Achilles injury. It gave him something to look forward to during one of the lowest points of his career. He’s long admired Egyptian culture and scheduled the visit for what was believed to be after the offseason programs.
