Aaron Rodgers Targets Mid-December Return from Achilles Injury

Despite Warnings, Jets' Quarterback Aims for Unprecedented Recovery Timeline

  • Aaron Rodgers, the New York Jets quarterback, is aiming to return to the field in mid-December after tearing his Achilles tendon in the first game of the season.
  • Rodgers has been working on a weight-limiting treadmill, jogging at 50% of his body weight, with a goal to increase it to 75% this week.
  • Rodgers' potential return is unprecedented as a three-month recovery from such an injury is typically unheard of.
  • Despite Rodgers' optimism, some experts and former players, like Chad Johnson, have warned against a premature return, citing the risk of re-injury.
  • The Jets are currently 4-5, and Rodgers' return could potentially boost their chances for a playoff spot.
