Aaron Rodgers faces a long road back if he wants to continue playing.
The remainder of the 2023 season is out, and there’s no guarantee he would be ready at the start of next year, either, according to two orthopedic specialists who spoke with The Post.A date for surgery has yet to be determined, head coach Robert Saleh said.
Aaron Rodger is tended to by a trainer after suffering a season-ending Achilles injury during the Jets’ 22-16 win over the Bills.Minara believes Rodgers’ mobility, if he does play next season, would be limited and the Jets would need to build an elite offensive line so he wouldn’t have to use his legs.
“I wouldn’t extrapolate from this injury, even with his age, that it’s a career-ending injury at this point in time,” Brief said. “It is an extremely important variable, age being something that certainly lends itself to a longer and more difficult recovery. However, that being said, we’re talking about an elite athlete. … In the context of his sport, football, he’s not young.
There have been aging quarterbacks who have suffered the same injury and have returned to play several more years. Dan Marino and Vinny Testaverde are two examples.
