Aaron Rodgers has received a major setback recently, as he suffered an Achilles injury in his first game as the New York Jets quarterback. Rodgers couldn’t even complete the remaining 11:15 seconds in the first quarter, as he was guided off the field right after a 10-yard stack. Well, the team definitely felt his absence but still managed to secure the 22-16 victory on the previous Monday night football. Besides the recent Rodgers trade, the Jets also recruited Dalvin Cook as their Running Back from the Minnesota Vikings.
