New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is receiving heartfelt messages from across the world of sport after going down with an injury on debut versus the Buffalo Bills
LeBron James has wished Aaron Rodgers a speedy recovery after the New York Jets quarterback suffered a season-ending Achilles injury during Monday’s game against the Buffalo Bills.
Rodgers was just four plays into his much-awaited Jets regular season debut before being sacked by Bills linebacker Leonard Floyd. Footage has shown that the four-time MVP’s Achilles tendon appearing to tear after the impact.
An MRI on Tuesday confirmed the organisation’s worst fears. The Jets then placed him on injured reserve and confirmed their blockbuster offseason addition will miss the rest of the new season.
The 2010 Super Bowl champion previously spent 18 years on the Green Bay Packers before finally being traded in late April – days before the NFL Draft – for a bevvy of picks. But after months of anticipation, his 19th season ended in mere minutes.
