While Aaron Rodgers has yet to make his return to the football field, he is playing on the golf course with his New York Jets teammates.
On Saturday, the 40-year-old shared photos and videos from a golf trip with his offensive linemen, including reactions and retrieving a ball from a hole-in-one. Rodgers posed with Connor McGovern, Max Mitchell and Chris Glaser at Shadow Creek Golf Course in Las Vegas.
‘O-Line trip. First round after surgery,” Rodgers wrote. ‘Las Vegas. Shadow Creek #17. ‘Let’s take a picture guys’, a little later…Hole in One!!!”
Although the impressive shot was not recorded, the reactions were captured by McGovern. Rodgers is seen laughing in disbelief with his hands behind his head. Meanwhile, his teammates shared a laugh amid their amusement.
Rodgers posted a video of him retrieving the ball afterward, in which McGovern says, “Hole in one baby.”

Rodgers is expected to return next season after tearing his Achilles tendon in his debut with the New York Jets
Rodgers had a successful run with the Jets this season, but unfortunately suffered an Achilles tendon injury in the first quarter of his New York debut.
Despite confirming his season was over the next morning, Rodgers appeared to be making an unprecedented return from such an injury. Due to Rodgers’ efforts, fans expected him to return about three months after the tear.
Rodgers reportedly rejoined the team for the final three games of the season, but was denied any playing time as they failed to make the playoffs.
The Jets finished with a 7-10 record, third in the AFC East, as quarterback Zach Wilson struggled under the bright lights in Rodgers’ absence. The team went 5-7 with Wilson leading the offense before a head injury forced him out of the final three games.
Third string Trevor Siemian finished the season leading the Jets to wins over the Commanders and Patriots.
Rodgers is expected to return next season for the final year of his short-term, $75 million contract.
