New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has kept in touch with teammate Zach Wilson after sustaining an Achilles tendon injury – and has been offering his help to the young QB
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been using his experience to help New York Jets teammate Zach Wilson.
The veteran QB has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2023 NFL season with an Achilles injury, despite his belief he’ll return for the playoffs. Rodgers sustained the injury in just the fourth play of his debut for the Jets in the Monday Night Football game against the Buffalo Bills.
Rodgers underwent surgery on Wednesday and will spend the next few months on the sidelines in recovery. As a result, Wilson is expected to be handed the starting quarterback role at the MetLife Stadium.
Wilson was drafted with the second overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and was expected to be the franchise quarterback for the future in New Jersey. However, two underwhelming years led to the Jets trading for Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers in April.
