Aaron Rodgers Credits Cayenne Pepper Drink for Improved Recovery
The Jets quarterback incorporates a new spicy regimen as he battles multiple injuries during a challenging season.
- Aaron Rodgers, at 40, is dealing with ankle, knee, and hamstring injuries but is incorporating a cayenne pepper and water concoction into his recovery routine.
- Suggested by teammate Thomas Morstead, the drink is believed to aid metabolic and gastrointestinal health, though Rodgers is unsure of its full impact.
- Rodgers admits to feeling better after using the drink, despite a challenging start to the season with the Jets at 2-6 and on a five-game losing streak.
- Criticism from Patriots' Davon Godchaux highlights Rodgers' reduced mobility, which the quarterback attributes to his injuries rather than aging.
- Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich confirms Rodgers will continue to play despite not being at full health, as the team seeks to improve in upcoming games.
