Aaron Rodgers injury update: MRI reveals Jets QB suffered a complete tear of Achilles tendon, per report

www.cbssports.com Aaron Rodgers injury update: MRI reveals Jets QB suffered a complete tear of Achilles tendon

Rodgers' season is apparently over

Jets gonna Jet. Tough break though. On the bright side he is 1-0 as the qb for the Jets, #undefeated lol.

If he needs surgery will he require his surgical team to show up unmasked? Bet after his own research he just takes some ivermectin and walks it off.

What do those damn doctors know?! Just rub some ivermectin on it Aaron.

56
Completely torn achilles tendons aren't real. He should be ashamed to be promoting a fake condition.

54
So he's basically an extra QB coach they paid $75M for. But if he makes Zach competent, maybe it would be worth it.

I'm a Bils fan and I'm embarrassed that Zach was the most successful QB on the field last night.

45
- That's a good point. An expensive qb coach but hey if he can turn Zach around... I'm not a Jets fan either. Just here for the chaos.

  The only problem is coaches salaries don't count towards the cap, Aaron on the other hand...

He didn't immunize himself against that? Seems like a mistake on his part to me.

37
Why does he trust doctors now? He looked fine out there. That's all I want to know.

26
- Heroic dose of acid and a couple peyote buttons and he won't even need his legs. He can just float around under center

I'm sorry for all the jets fans. You had the team and the coaching staff to be competitive. You'll have to improvise now. Hope you get a good season.

21
- As a Dolphins fan our mantra is "Fuck the Jets", but I certainly hate to see this type of injury

  Fellow Dolfan here. This sucks. You want to beat the Jets on their best day, not when they've got a replacement QB.

Think he's going to retire? That's not an easy recovery.

21
- The one thing in his favor is that he was already a pocket passing QB and it's his front foot when throwing, so the losses you usually think of when it comes to an achilles injury aren't as significant. But he is 40 years old, so any significant injury at that age is going to be a possible career ender.

  It absolutely will affect his ability to scramble, and that was a huge part of his game. He would constantly roll out of the pocket or take off if he needed to or had an open lane to run. Sucks man. He was fun to watch.
  
  5
- I'm not sure he's going to have much of a choice
  
  5
- Why would you ever keep him at this point? Send him to pasture.

  The Jets will be paying for him either way, either via salary or dead cap. So I'd think they would want him playing if he's able.

That sack looked very routine too, no huge blindsided hit, just a regular takedown with a slightly weird angle on his legs. Real bad luck.

18
Ivermectin will clear that right up. The globalist referees don't want you to know that though.

That's a fucking awful injury to get. My mom get it a few years back training for a marathon. Took her a year before she could walk again. She's back training now but her doctor says its mostly scar tissue holding the tendon together now.

12
- Damn, that sounds awful

- I hope he gets introduced to Canton with the iconic 8 jersey. Such an amazing career with the Jetes

🎶 Hello darkness my old friend 🎶

He's gonna go live on a farm where he can laugh and play and drink ayahuasca and spread dangerous laughably false medical advice.

8
Just run some icy hot on it.

7
Hate to see this. This was my QB for half of my life and to see him likely go out like this makes me sick.

Ouch, that's rough.

As a dolphins fan it's hard not to think that gives is a great chance of the division now, but, would have been far more fun going head to head with the Jets than this happening.

7
Yikes. That is a brutal injury.

6
Can we just stop with the turf? I know that this was newer turf, but you can't help attribute part of this injury to it. Higher injury rates on turf, any one that has played on it can tell you the traction is dramatically different and our bodies can't handle it

6
- So, is it basically better traction? But like with anything safety related, there's supposed to be a level of give so it gives way before you do?
  
  3
  
  Yeah basically. Watch the video of Rodgers Achilles snapping, if you can stomach it. Now imagine that same play on a natural field.
  
  There would be A LOT more give into the ground, and more often the grass sliding and giving way, which could take a lot of force away from that tendon.
  
  Instead, his foot could not move or find a better position so that his own body could distribute the force, and the ground never gave any leeway, so all the force of him running, trying to break a tackle and a 300+lb elite athlete tackling him was transferred into his static Achilles tendon.
  
  This could have been a sprained ankle, or maybe nothing on a grass field.
  
  6
- I've spent some time at Gillette on the soccer pitch and it's a very surreal feedback experience.
  
  3
  
  Yeah I have never liked it. When I've played on football field turf, it almost feels like a basketball court. It's very hard, and the traction is so much higher.
  
  I was a HS lineman, and I didn't even use cleats on turf. I couldn't afford the additional cleats that work on turf, so when we played on turf I just used sneakers and never had traction issues even in the rain!

Please don't sign Brady, please don't sign Brady.

6
- Brady ripping up the Patriots? I'm down.
  
  8
  
  Fins fan here. I just don't want to see him any more, it's been half my lifetime. Shit gets old being forced to watch a dude that sliced us up for years. Yeah we got the occasional rivalry upset, but he won 7. Anyway. Shit hits me deep.
  
  Also, lack of flair makes this harder to get the viewpoint of a fellow football fan.
  
  8
- They have to see if he'll do it.
  
  I think he's done and would turn them down, but that team has a lot of talent.
  
  They should have a line in the sand number, though. I don't know how much they can theoretically open by manipulating contract structures, but even with how much talent the defense has, if you have to lose a stud young defender in a couple years to make the math work, it might not be worth it.

  I think once he goes on IR his salary doesn't count against the cap
  
  1
- Brady swears this retirement is for real. Next time you see him, he'll be on a commercial or behind a booth.

Putting on the all too familiar Jets copium hat, they pulled out a W under catastrophic circumstances yesterday against a very good division rival. The Bills defense is going to give most QBs trouble especially when the O-Line isn't holding up well, so I don't think you can make too harsh of a judgement on Zach's performance (even though it wasn't too bad as is).

Now he's got a week to prepare with the starting unit and they can game plan around him, so let's see if he's learned anything from Coach Rodgers.

4
- But they're playing the Cowboys who just made Daniel Jones look like a rookie. Two tough defenses back to back is a tough way to build the confidence of a young QB. If he gets shellacked by Dallas, he might have a tough time going forward.
  
  Alternatively, if he weathers the storm he might gain confidence and blossom.
  
  7
The Jet fans have had an emotional rollercoaster in the last little bit

4
Donezo. Sorry jets, that shit sucks.

Prase be the great prophet Gutradamus who foresaw this calamity and guided us to Love.
