Aaron Rodgers could be back on the field soon, according to his own statement. He announced this during his weekly appearance on the “Pat McAfee Show. “

It was just over five weeks ago when Aaron Rodgers almost tragically tore his Achilles tendon. Normally it takes several months to heal such an injury. A comeback in the 2023 season already seemed out of the question on the evening of the incident.

In the meantime, the New York Jets quarterback has become much more optimistic. On the “Pat McAfee Show”, where he gives a weekly interview, he was positively beaming with confidence.

Aaron Rodgers: “I believe in it “

“I’m way ahead of schedule,” he told the former cult Indianapolis Colts punter. Still, he put the brakes on the expectations of those in the studio somewhat: “I’m very cautious about things, how I approach this rehab.”

While the 39-year-old has been throwing balls again, he wants to wait before returning to the field. “There are still a few hurdles. “

He also did not want to give an exact timetable. However, he was more than optimistic. “I believe in it. I believe in miracles. Not that spiritual nonsense, but miracles to me means creating something that no one has ever done before.” With that, Rodgers alluded to a return in the current season.

Things are currently going well for the Jets, even with his replacement Zach Wilson. In week six, he and his team defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 20-14.
