Nobody backs Aaron into a corner.
Sorry, I just had to say it.
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (that still sounds weird), who was injured on the fourth play of his season, has now told friend Pat McAfee that he’s in full rehab after surgery on his torn Achilles tendon.
Rodgers, 39, has implied his career will continue following the rehab, although he has been known to change his mind here and there. Or at the very least, take a little while in making decisions.
Like, the whole freaking summer.
He did say on the most recent episode of “The Pat McAfee Show” that he won’t be trapped into giving specific dates for a return, according to a story by Dennis Waszak Jr., of the Associated Press (Jets’ Rodgers is focused on getting healthy and playing again but won’t put a timeline on his return).
“I don’t want to get caught in the timeline,” Rodgers said. “I just want to get healthy, honestly, mentally and physically, honestly. But I’m going to do everything I can rehab-wise, to put myself in a position to be ready to play football again at some point. That’s the goal. I mean, obviously when this happened, there’s a lot of thoughts about, like, is that it? Cash it in, you’re done?
“I just don’t feel like I am. So I’m going to put myself in a position to be able to play again and then see when that is.”
