This is a heartbreaking development not only for the Jets but for the entire sports world. Anytime an athlete is injured long-term, it’s not good for the league or the player. How much more so for a guy like Aaron Rodgers? There were high hopes that he could help New York snap out of its decade-long playoff drought, but now, the team will have to find another way to do that without acquiring valuable players in the offseason. acquisition.
Regardless, it wasn’t just LeBron James who was completely dumbfounded by what happened. Even Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant (who has dealt with an Achilles injury himself) chimed in, saying he was “too sick right now” and felt sorry for Roger.
The Jets placed Rodgers on injured reserve after his diagnosis. Hopefully this isn’t the last time we see the Jets quarterback on the field.
