The New York Jets new quarterback Arron Rodgers had a season ending injury with a torn
achilles. Arron Rodgers is a veteran quarterback in the NFL, being 39 years old. Being in the
league at that age is risky with injuries. It’s unfortunate because Arron Rodgers was the missing
piece to the Jets’ perfect season. The Jets were projected to get to the playoffs and, hopefully, the
Superbowl. The last time the Jets won a Superbowl was in 1970, the 3rd ever Superbowl. Arron
Rodgers was ready to go and had high hopes for the season but it all went down during the
season opener against The Buffalo Bills, when Arron Rodgers Got hit he tore his left achilles

What does this mean for the Jets? The Jets still have other weapons in their bag, but
they just lost their cannonball with Arron Rodgers. They will now have the second overall pick,
Zach Wilson, lead the offense this season. Zach Wilson ended up leading the Jets to their first
win this season after Rodgers got hurt against the Buffalo Bills. When will Arron Rodgers
return? It’s too early to decide if he will come back, but it’s “Not off of the question,” says ESPN.
Arron Rodgers stated on Instagram saying, “The night is darkest before the dawn.” This could
mean Arron Rodgers will come back before the playoffs begin.
Aaron Rodgers isn’t the first athlete to have achilles injuries and return the same
season. Cam Akers, a LA Rams running back, tore his achilles in 2021 and came back only 5
months later, says ESPN. Cam Akers is currently on the Minnesota Vikings; he has 1
touchdown and averages 1.3 rushing yards per play this season. It took NBA player Dominique
Wilkins 8 to 9 months to return after an achilles injury. Wilkins is a 9 time NBA all star and won 2
NBA dunk contests. There is no telling how long it will take Rogers to overcome this injury.
