Aaron Rodgers: Jets QB breaks silence after season-ending Achilles injury on week one as he promises to ‘rise yet again’ despite being ‘heartbroken’

Aaron Rodgers has vowed to “rise again” after the Achilles injury that prematurely ended his debut season with the Jets against the Buffalo Bills on Monday night.

Rodgers posted on Instagram: “Thank you to everyone who reached out, called, texted, contacted, reached out through a friend, etc. It has meant a lot to me, and I will try to reach out to everyone . you soon

‘I am heartbroken and going through all the emotions, but deeply touched and humbled by the support and love. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I begin the healing process today.

‘The night is darkest before the dawn. And I will rise again.

‘Proud of my boys, 1-0’.

Rodgers’ 2023 season ended after just four games when the new Jets QB tore his Achilles tendon

Jets head coach Robert Saleh has confirmed that Zach Wilson will replace Aaron Rodgers

Rodgers’ new beginning with the Jets lasted just four starts before coming to a sudden and violent end.

After his offensive line buckled under the constant pressure of the Bills pass rush, Leonard reached Floyd Rodgers in the backfield.

Rodgers’ foot became stuck in the artificial turf at MetLife Stadium and his Achilles tendon ruptured, requiring the QB to be helped off the field and then wheeled to the locker room.

After further evaluation by team physicians and an MRI, he was diagnosed with an Achilles rupture, ending his season.

Now the Jets find themselves in an unenviable position: Barring a major acquisition, they will have to return to Zach Wilson as their full-time starting quarterback.

Wilson threw for just 1,688 yards in nine games for the Jets last season while leading a wildly inconsistent offense in New York.

Things won’t get any better for the Jets when they travel to Dallas to take on the Cowboys on Sunday.
