Aaron Rodgers needs to be “nice” and Jets followers can exhale.
The Jets’ 40-year-old quarterback revealed after Sunday’s loss to the Vikings that he has a low-ankle sprain, which head coach Robert Saleh confirmed Monday is the analysis.
“All of the preliminary stuff says he’ll be nice,” Saleh stated.
The Jets have an additional day to prepare for his or her unlikely first-place showdown with the AFC East rival Payments on Monday night time at MetLife Stadium.
Dealing with the Payments in East Rutherford is similar setting by which Rodgers suffered a torn ACL within the 2023 season-opener.
Rodgers was limping all through the fourth quarter as he tried to guide the Jets to what would’ve been a 17-point comeback in a 23-17 loss to Minnesota.
“I talked with him (Sunday) night time,” Saleh stated. “He’s doing nice. Clearly, he’s just a little banged up, however he feels good.”
Rodgers has taken a complete of 25 hits and eight sacks within the back-to-back losses to the Broncos and Vikings.
He already was coping with a knee that was “just a little swollen” because of “put on and tear” getting into Sunday’s sport.
Cornerback Michael Carter goes for additional testing on his hamstring harm, Saleh stated.
