Stark shed light on Rodgers not throwing warmup passes and said, “He said he just wasn’t feeling it,”
“He told me that he has been working on a weight-limiting treadmill jogging at 50 percent of his body weight. His goal this week is to increase to 75 percent. He said he can drop back, he can cross over. He just has to be able to get up on his toe. He has to get his heel off the ground to start running. His goal to come back: mid-December. He said, ‘I know it sounds insane. But you do a good surgery, you have a good patient, it makes this possible.’”
With Stark’s report, the whole fandom has taken a breather, as this marks the first time Rodgers has shared a specific time for his comeback. The New York Jets and their supporters are highly waiting for their star to return and with this information, it seems the quarterback might return for good.
There have been players in the NFL who have had amazing recoveries from their Achilles injuries, and the hopes are high that Rodgers will be able to make it too.
