Aaron Rodgers has vowed to ‘rise yet again’ following the Achilles injury which ended his debut season with the Jets prematurely on Monday night against the Buffalo Bills.<\/p>\n
Rodgers posted on Instagram: ‘Thank you to every person that has reached out, called, texted, DM\u2019d, connected through a friend, etc. It has meant a ton to me, and I\u2019ll try and get back to all of you soon<\/p>\n
‘I\u2019m completely heartbroken and moving through all of 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.<\/p>\n
‘The night is darkest before the dawn. And I shall rise yet again.<\/p>\n
‘Proud of my guys, 1-0’.<\/p>\n

Rodgers’ 2023 season ended after just four plays as the new Jets QB tore his Achilles tendon<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jets head coach Robert Saleh has confirmed Zach Wilson will replace Aaron Rodgers<\/p>\n
Rodgers’ new beginning with the Jets lasted only four plays before it came to a sudden and violent end.<\/p>\n
After his offensive line gave in to constant pressure by the Bills pass rush, Leonard Floyd got to Rodgers in the backfield.<\/p>\n
Rodgers’ foot got caught in the artificial turf at MetLife Stadium and his Achilles snapped – requiring the QB to be helped off the field and then carted to the locker room.<\/p>\n
After further evaluation by team doctors and an MRI, he was diagnosed with an Achilles rupture – ending his season.<\/p>\n
Now the Jets are in an unenviable position: barring a major acquisition, they’ll have to return to Zach Wilson as their full-time starting quarterback.<\/p>\n
Wilson only tossed for 1,688 yards in nine games for the Jets last season as he helmed a very inconsistent offense in New York.<\/p>\n
Things will not get better for the Jets – as they travel to Dallas to take on the Cowboys this Sunday.<\/p>\n
