Aaron Rodgers missed part of the New York Jets' mandatory minicamp in June, and his absence was due to a preplanned trip.

Per SNYTV's Connor Hughes, Rodgers had a trip to Egypt the same week as the minicamp. He was in attendance for all of Phase 1, but missed a week of Phase 2, according to Hughes. Rodgers also attended every OTA practice.

Hughes reported that the Jets were aware of the trip and don't think it will have an impact on the season, but also said it was not "communicated initially."
