Rodgers, the Jets’ blockbuster offseason acquisition, tore his Achilles during the fourth play of his first game with his new team. It seemed like a foregone conclusion that his season was over.
Making one of his regular appearances on “The Pat McAfee Show” Tuesday, Rodgers emphasized that he’s still not ready to see in-game action or even begin to make a decision.
Well, on Wednesday, the Jets announced that they are opening QB Aaron Rodgers 21-day practice window so that he can return from injured reserve.
The four-time MVP has come a long way since September.
One month after his surgery, the 39-year-old told McAfee he was “way ahead of schedule,” as he teased a return without providing a timeline.

Now we are here to the point where Rodgers might actually touch the field.
The Jets sit in 15th place in the AFC with a 4-7 record. Zach Wilson was benched for his performance once again after a 29-6 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 11.
The effort the team made to stay in the playoff race is now being led by Tim Boyle, who was sacked seven times in his starting debut against the Dolphins on Black Friday. New York lost that game, 34-13.
It doesn’t seem like the best idea to bring him back during this lost season.
