On Sunday night, the New York Jets defeated the unstoppable Philadelphia Eagles. This win is one of the biggest upsets of the season. However, there was another individual who garnered just as much, if not, more attention than the Jets’ victory over the Eagles. It was Jet’s star player Aaron Rodgers. He attended the Jets vs Eagles game to show his support for the team and also to demonstrate his progress.

After his Achilles injury, this was the first time Rodgers was seen walking without crutches in the stadium. In the NFL world, this action is seen as an indication from Rodgers that he will be making a comeback very soon.

Rodgers’ progress and how fans are reacting to it

In the first week of the NFL season, Rodgers suffered an Achilles injury during a game against the Buffalo Bills. Many predicted his early retirement as recovering from an Achilles injury is not easy.

But, from time to time, Rodgers has given updates about his progress. Walking without crutches and throwing balls before the Jets’ game are being perceived as his way of showing improvement.

Current status of Rodgers’ injury and his possible comeback

Normally, it takes 6 weeks to wear a shoe after the surgery, but he managed it in just 13 days. Besides the Achilles injury, he is also dealing with a deltoid issue.

Jets Head Coach Robert Saleh recently stated that the team is leaving the door open for Rodgers for a possible comeback this season. However, it typically takes at least 6 to 9 months to recover from an Achilles injury, although in some cases, the recovery time could be reduced to 4-5 months.
