With the entrance of Aaron Rodgers in New York, the whole New York Jets team’s locker room has taken a dramatic new look, filled with optimism and self-reliance to confront any big team. The Green Bay Packers and Jets trade for Rodgers fetched so many blessings for the Jets team that despite not having the NFL legend on the roster, the Jets placed themselves in the headlines with three straight victories.
Just the confidence A-rod injects in his teammates may be enough for winning a match, but not for appearing in the Super Bowl, instigating the quarterback to take the field as soon as possible to live on their Super Bowl aspirations.
Rodgers sets ambitious goals for comeback
Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles tendon on the fourth snap of the Jets’ debut match of the season. The dominating hero on the field has been making remarkable progress in his rehab process since after having an “innovative surgery” to repair his Achilles tear.
Recently, the Jet’s offensive leader showed up in the Breeder’s Cup where Britney Eurton of NBC Sports had a chance to report the latest development of his injury.
The 39-year-old started mentioning himself as fully fit while claiming his stickiness with the rehab process every single day. The starter of the Jets exchanged his views on his season-ending injury claiming that he is trying to put himself under pressure to make a quick return on the field.
“I’m feeling good. I do rehab every single day. This is part of my rehab, walking down to the betting window over here to grab some food or drink, which my trainers will be happy with that. I’m trying to put my leg up as much as I can. I’ve got my dad shoes on, my rockers, so I can walk without any pain.”
After learning about his latest injury update, the fans would speculate his comeback in the current season. Nevertheless, the dual-threat quarterback let them know that in spite of vying to join his team on the field, he at first set his mind to check all the needed boxes to claim his demand on the field with full fitness.
“But it’s a process. Step by step. Day by day. There’s some great days, some rough days. But the goal for me is to come back this year. It’s got to be, otherwise I think it’d be a lot of rehab and pain. We’ll see what happens. I’ve got to hit some markers before that. I’ve got to be able to move around. I’ve got to be able to avoid putting myself in harm’s way.”
When he could be able to return is yet to be known, albeit his expeditious recovery procedure raised concerns among the medical experts though the Jets’ GM is seemingly harboring a positive outlook on Aaron Rodgers.
Ex-Packers QB fuels rumors of Rodgers’ return in Week 17
Many a one might have recalled Aaron Rodgers’s remark that he left after leaving the field with a gruesome injury.
“The night is darkest before the dawn. And I shall rise yet again. Proud of my guys, 1-0,” he said following the Jet’s first win without him.
The cryptic message clearly hinted at the quarterback’s intention to reappear on the field this season. He already stunned his fans and teammates, emerging like a Superman in the Jet’s locker room, only three weeks after his injury.
Furthermore, he was caught in the camera, walking without crutches and throwing passes before their battle against the Philadelphia Eagles. As the rumors were swirling in the air about his possible comeback on the field, he decided to go with the winds.
Aaron Rodgers shared a watch image on Instagram. Following that, a fan conjectured that he was referencing the Jets’ game against the Cleveland Browns in Week 17 on December 28.
Although there are some quarterbacks with records of being able to survive and return to the field rapidly, Aaron Rodgers himself has repeatedly stated his keenness to get back on the field this very season.
Do you think he can at last achieve his goal?
