Mark Adickes, a former NFL offensive lineman turned orthopedic surgeon, has weighted in on Aaron Rodger's injury.
The doctor took to Twitter, showing a video of the hit that he used to evaluate the injury. And he provided his take on what the injury could be.
"Aaron Rodgers injury appears to be either Lisfranc foot injury, ankle sprain or possibly even Achilles. Similar mechanism to JK Dobbins injury Sunday. Best case is ankle sprain. Will miss several weeks best case," Adickes wrote.
During the Jets season opener against the Buffalo Bills, Aaron Rodgers went down after being sacked by Leonard Floyd. He originally stood up, but immediately sat back down on the ground and trainers rushed over to him.
He was then helped off the field, limping to the sideline and Zach Wilson came in to replaced Rodgers. A cart was brought over to the sideline soon after and Rodgers was seen being carted off the field.
Rodgers was traded to the Jets this offseason from the Packers, marking a new start for the quarterback. New York then brought in a lot of help for the Rodgers, with many believing them to be true Super Bowl contenders
As for Adickes, the doctor played as a guard for the Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Commanders from 1986-1992.
After retiring as a Super Bowl champion, winning with Washington in 1992, he decided to pursue a career in medicine. Throughout his career, he has had much experience within sports medicine.
The only updated provided by the Jets is that Rodgers is dealing with an ankle injury and is questionable to return.
