Jets QB Aaron Rodgers Provides Major Update on Achilles Injury That Kept Him Out of NFL Last Season
Rodgers is 40 years old and will turn 41 this season. His body isn't as young as it once was, and recovering from an Achilles injury may be quite difficult. The Jets will be dangerous if Rodgers can return to his pre-injury form. Joe Douglas did an excellent job of surrounding his franchise quarterback with additional quality this offseason.

Aaron Rodgers missed the Minicamp to visit Egypt
According to Zach Braziller of the New York Post, Rodgers skipped the Jets' mandated minicamp in June to visit Egypt, an unexcused absence for which he notified the team ahead of time. According to SNY's Connor Hughes, there was no tension between Jets leadership or Rodgers' teammates.
Hopefully, Rodgers will be able to return strong and play for a few more years. He is one of the best quarterbacks ever played in the NFL, and it would be nice to see him retire on his terms.
Making a successful comeback at the age of 40 from a torn Achilles would add to his legacy. He is striving to do something extremely tough for any athlete, but at his age, it would be a monument to his brilliance.
Now that Rodgers has stated that he feels okay, the Jets will hope that the quarterback will be closer to 100 percent when he returns to the team on July 23 training camp. The Jets will begin their preseason against the Commanders on August 10, and their regular season will begin against the 49ers on September 10.
