On September 11, Aaron Rodgers’ season debut with the New York Jets ended in disaster.
The star QB’s outing was abruptly cut short just five plays into the game against the Buffalo Bills when he found himself in the crosshairs of the Bills’ relentless edge rusher, Leonard Floyd.
The crushing sack left Rodgers writhing in pain on the turf. Team trainers raced to the scene and he was assisted off the field.
Subsequent medical evaluations confirmed that Aaron Rodgers had sustained a suspected torn Achilles tendon.
To determine the full extent of the injury and its implications, Rodgers is scheduled to undergo a comprehensive MRI examination on Tuesday.
In the wake of Rodgers’ premature exit, rookie quarterback Zach Wilson is poised to take the reins of the Jets’ offense for the remainder of the season.
As the football world grappled with the shock of Rodgers’ injury, a segment of NFL fans seized the opportunity to unleash a torrent of trolling on social media platforms.
