Jets quarterback has appeared on the injury report with a knee issue after a tough game against the Denver Broncos, where he was sacked five times. Despite the Jets’ 2-2 record, they struggled offensively, failing to score a touchdown. During an interview on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Rodgers disclosed that his knee is swollen, which has raised concerns about his health. While Jets head coach Robert Saleh downplayed the issue, noting Rodgers will practice fully, Rodgers was later listed as a limited participant for missing stretching.
Though Rodgers has shown resilience throughout his career, at 40 years old and recovering from a severe Achilles tear in 2023, his age and recent physical toll are potential risks. Saleh seems confident, but if Rodgers takes another hit on that knee, it could lead to more serious damage. With the Jets looking to make a playoff push, it’s worth considering whether Rodgers should sit out a week to fully recover, especially with their Week 5 matchup against a strong Minnesota Vikings defense. While Rodgers is expected to play, the team must weigh the risk of aggravating his injury against their long-term goals.
