Is quarterback Aaron Rodgers a medical miracle? The progress just a few weeks after his Achilles tendon tear is increasingly hinting at it.

In the New York Jets’ sensational 20:14 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, a star who didn’t even play stole the show before the game.

To the great astonishment of the experts and fans on site at New York’s MetLife Stadium, quarterback Aaron Rodgers was already walking around again without crutches or a special shoe after tearing his Achilles tendon.

And that was not all. The 39-year-old also took the field before kickoff and threw a few short passes during the franchise’s warm-up.

Just 34 days – less than five weeks – after suffering a serious injury in week one against the Buffalo Bills.

The NFL universe was amazed at how Rodgers was able to stay on his feet under his own power for so long and without a walker, and already has no major motor limitations when walking so soon after the surgery.

Rodgers’ healing process “amazing “

The fact that the playmaker was then able to throw a few balls without any problems caused plenty of incredulous looks.

While it’s not unusual for someone to begin “partial weight bearing” a month after surgery to repair their Achilles tendon, an unnamed medical source was quoted as saying by “CBS Sports”, Rodgers’ progress is still remarkable given the very short recovery time so far.

“It’s unbelievable,” head coach Robert Saleh said after the game. “A lot of people I’ve talked to – I don’t want to name names, but they’ve been through this, too – they’re all amazed that he can even walk yet. That he can even stand on the sidelines all the time, he’s a freakazoid. “

Miracle recovery and lightning comeback for Aaron Rodgers?

As reported by “Yahoo.com”, Rodgers underwent a newer treatment method called “Speed Bridge” which is said to significantly speed up the healing process.

Depending on the healing process and predisposition, the downtime until full recovery and return to competition may well take nine to twelve months. Less than six months, however, occurs only in the rarest of cases.

Despite the poor prognosis and the severity of the injury, the four-time MVP has repeatedly refused in recent weeks to rule out a return during the regular season or for the playoffs, even though a torn Achilles tendon is season-ending from experience.

Rodgers’ drive against the Eagles was evident every second. He watched the game from a seat on the sideline, wearing a headset and listening to the instructions for the offense. “That’s just the way he is. He said he wanted to be on the sidelines,” Coach Saleh pointed out.
