The return of the star quarterback of the New York Jets, Aaron Rodgers, is highly anticipated by everyone in and around the NFL. He had earlier sustained an Achilles tendon injury and is currently recovering.
His rehabilitation has been going great and quite recently, he even revealed that he might be making his comeback in the middle of December. The Jets are 4-5 in the season as they are coming fresh from a 16-12 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.
According to Pro Football Talk, Jets head coach Robert Saleh has also announced when the quarterback might return to the gridiron. He stated via Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, "Aaron’s a big boy, a grown man, and no one’s going to know Aaron’s body like Aaron knows his body,"
"And if he feels after all the doctors clear him — I’m sure there’s a million of them, I have no idea — but if Aaron says he wants to play, he’s going to play."
He further said, "I would imagine he’s going to want to acclimate to the meetings and reconnect himself,"
"There’s been a lot of changes to the system since he’s been out, and just trying to figure things out with the guys that we have.
"I have an admiration for him. We’re very young on the offensive side of the ball and his veteran presence is always welcome. [He’ll be able to] just get himself back in the building, get reacclimated around his teammates, re-involved in meetings. Then whenever his clock starts, it starts — if he’s able."
The other major games coming for the Jets are against the Buffalo Bills and the Miami Dolphins.
