Aaron Rodgers was reportedly opposed to the New York Jets' decision to return him to the active roster after his Achilles injury.
Per Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio, Rodgers didn't want to rejoin the roster because he knew it would cause someone to lose their job. In this case, it was practice squad defensive back Kalon Barnes who was cut from the 53-man roster.
Despite Rodgers' opposition to rejoining, general manager Joe Douglas and head coach Robert Saleh decided to activate Rodgers before the window to do so closed.
With the Jets out of playoff contention, Rodgers is not expected to play again until 2024.
