Aaron Rodgers’ aspirations for resurrecting the New York Jets lasted just four snaps.
Rodgers’ and the Jets’ cruelest fears were realized on Tuesday as an MRI revealed he suffered a torn left Achilles in Monday night’s game against the Buffalo Bills and will miss the remainder of the 2023 season.
It’s a crushing blow at the onset of what was hoped to be a renaissance season for the Jets and, furthermore, bears questioning what’s next for Rodgers, who turns 40 on Dec. 2.
Going forward, 2021 NFL Draft No. 2 overall pick Zach Wilson will be the Jets’ starting quarterback, which head coach Robert Saleh announced Monday night after he said the team feared Rodgers had ruptured his Achilles.
The loss of Rodgers hung over the Jets’ dramatic overtime win on Monday, as the long-beleaguered franchise was riding an offseason of optimism into a 2023 campaign that crashed before it got out of park.
