Aaron Rodgers to Start for Jets Despite Health Concerns and Speculation About Future

Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich confirms Rodgers' starting role against the Seahawks as questions linger over his injuries and long-term position with the team.

Overview

  • Aaron Rodgers, who turns 41 next week, will remain the New York Jets' starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks, according to interim coach Jeff Ulbrich.
  • Rodgers has been dealing with knee, ankle, and hamstring injuries since Week 4 but reportedly declined medical imaging tests to continue playing, a claim Ulbrich said he could not confirm.
  • The Jets, currently 3-8 and nearly eliminated from playoff contention, are navigating a turbulent season following the recent firings of head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas.
  • Rodgers' performance this season has been underwhelming, with no 300-yard passing games and a Total QBR ranking of 24th out of 33 qualified passers.
  • Speculation about Rodgers' future with the Jets beyond this season continues, with reports suggesting ownership may leave the decision to the incoming general manager and coach.
