Fans who were hoping to see Aaron Rodgers back on the field at some point during the pre-season will have to re-evaluate their expectations.
New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh told reporters at training camp on Tuesday that the 40-year-old quarterback “definitely won’t play the first two (preseason games).”
Rodgers hasn’t played a down of NFL football since tearing his Achilles tendon, four snaps into his Jets debut last September. The four-time league MVP joined New York ahead of the 2023-24 season, being traded by the Green Bay Packers after spending the first 18 years of his career with them.
The former Super Bowl champion and MVP has a career 148-75-1 record with a 65.3 per cent completion rate for 475 touchdowns on 59,055 passing yards.
Saleh didn’t totally rule out the possibility of Rodgers taking the field in pre-season, leaving the door open for their third, and final, tune-up game.
“We haven’t really talked about it, my instinct right now as I stand here is we’ll see … that third game is the one we’re deciding … the discussion on the third one we just haven’t quite had yet.”
