Aaron Rodgers’ debut for the New York Jets against the Buffalo Bills did not get off to the best of starts when he was sacked in the first quarter and limped off the field
Aaron Rodgers was ruled out of his New York Jets debut after just two minutes following a crunching sack.
The 39-year-old was taken down by Buffalo Bills’ Leonard Floyd during his opening drive for the Jets and sat on the turf. Rodgers was pressured in all three of his snaps and managed a 26-yard advancement on one throw before. While sat on the turf, he was seen to by the Jets’ medical team before being helped to the sidelines.
Zach Wilson replaced the Jets No. 8 before a cart was sent to collect the quarterback with his return announced as questionable throughout the stadium. The entire stadium, which was raucous in the build up to the game, went deathly silent following the hit to Rodgers.
Rodgers, who suffered an injury to his left ankle in the challenge, was then pictured being carted away down the sidelines. It was soon confirmed Rodgers would receive X-rays to assess his injury.
