The New York Jets are standing third in the AFC East division and are 5-9 in the current season. Out of their last four matches, the Jets were able to win just one of them.
They lost against the Miami Dolphins, then to the Atlanta Falcons, won against the Houston Texans and then once again lost to the Dolphins, in which they were nil to 30.
The Super Bowl Champion and four-time MVP star quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, was injured against the Buffalo Bills. He sustained an Achilles injury and was soon placed on injury reserve.
However, the prominent quarterback of the Jets has been making an unheard-of recovery from the injury, which usually takes much longer. His efforts during the rehabilitation process have been tremendous and his rejuvenation was almost unbelievable to many in and around the NFL.
One of the points on which many, especially the Jets fans, were hanging is whether he will be able to return or not. Earlier, as per multiple reports, his comeback was assigned dates and weeks. The future Hall of Fame inductee had shared that his surgery would make his recuperation journey easier and his aim was to come back to Gridiron as soon as he could.
Aaron Rodgers finally puts to rest the notion of him attempting a comeback this season with Pat McAfee.

Jets QB Aaron Rodgers to @PatMcAfeeShow: "If I was 100% today, I'd definitely be pushing to play. But the fact is, I'm not. I've been working hard to get closer … I'm still 14 weeks tmrw from my surgery. And being medically cleared as 100% healed is not realistic at 14 weeks."

Additionally, Rodgers was given a clean slate to return to practice. However, the ten-time Pro Bowl star player shared with Pat McAfee about his current situation. Nevertheless, it is not easy to return from Achilles surgery to 100% at a much faster rate.
