It appears even the New York Jets don't have a good feeling about Aaron Rodger's injury.
Speaking with the media after their impressive overtime victory over the Buffalo Bills, Jets head coach Robert Saleh confirmed what everyone was already thinking.
"MRI is gonna confirm what we think is already gonna happen. But it’s not good,” Saleh said (via ESPN's Adam Schefter).
ESPN's Rich Cimini provided more detail, reporting that Saleh said that the Jets fear Rodgers has a torn Achilles.
On Monday night, 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 sidelines soon after and Rodgers was loaded onto the back and brought back into the locker room.
Afterwards, he was seen coming out of the X-Ray room, which the Jets reported were negative, and had a boot on his left foot/ankle.
Saleh confirmed postgame that Rodgers has left the facility and they are praying for the quarterback (via SNYtv's Connor Hughes).
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.
However, this latest news changes things for the team as they enter the 2023 season.
