Jets Aaron Rodgers Injured in Season Opener Against the Buffalo Bills
No one could have predicted tonight’s game even if they had tried! All during the offseason and preseason, NFL news buzzed about a particular future first round Hall of Famer and his new team. With some even suggesting a Super Bowl appearance due to this major roster shakeup and situation. However, within minutes of the start of the Bills versus Jets match up; the proverbial roof comes crashing down. The Jets Aaron Rodgers injured in season opener on just the fourth play…what will the future now hold?
Stunned. Quiet. In anxious disbelief. That is the best way to describe the vibe of numerous Jets fans after the unthinkable occurs.
After just a few plays on the field Jets’ quarterback Aaron Rodgers finds himself splat on the ground. He rises after taking a monstrous hit only to return back down onto the field rocking himself. He can’t stand up or get back over to the sideline with the rest of his team without assistance. Not good.
Jets Aaron Rodgers Injured in Season Opener Against the Buffalo Bills
In several replays it becomes clear to see what happened. While not Theisman level, this incident still looks bad. Even Troy Aiken and Joe Buck, the two ESPN announcers calling the game could confidently confirm, “I think it is the ankle.”
During the play where Rodgers goes down, his back ankle rolls in a very awkward way. Not in a normal positioning at all. However, not long after the unfortunate sight, some news soon develops.
Aaron is rushed inside where medical personnel can start to get a good look at him. Reports begin to emerge stating that the X-ray taken is negative. Nevertheless, for precautions; it is decided that Rodgers will remain out for the rest of the game.
While this initial assessment sounds good, as many know it’s a MRI that can really fully paint a picture. Moments after the Jets come away with a miraculous and victorious win despite adversity against the Bills; ESPN reporter, Rich Cimini says:
“BREAKING: Robert Saleh says they fear a torn Achilles for Rodgers. It’s not good.’ MRI tomorrow. They expect it to confirm the tear.”
Such an injury could be season ending depending on the extent of the tear. This is definitely not the start to the Rodgers and Jets era that we or any New York fans were expecting. It’s truly unbelievable.
It’s also kind of eerie. The Bills’ Arthur Moats back in the day had a BIG infamous hit that injured Brett Favre. The predecessor that Rodgers took over for. And now the Bills take Aaron down. Man… life always seems to come full circle. Nevertheless, we are wishing a full recovery for Rodgers, get well soon buddy.
