Aaron Rodgers An Option For The Postseason?

The New York Jets have said that quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) is out for the 2023 season after tearing his left Achilles in the Week 1 win over the Buffalo Bills, but Rodgers left the door open on the Pat McAfee Show for a long-shot playoff return. "Anything's possible," Rodgers said. The Jets would first need to make the playoffs with Zach Wilson now their starting QB, which could be a long shot in itself. The 39-year-old Rodgers didn't even complete a pass before his season ended in his first game with the Jets on Monday night. All indications are that Rodgers plans to return in 2024, but he faces a grueling rehab in front of him and will be 40 years old coming off a major injury next year, so the deck will surely be stacked against him.
