UPDATE<\/p>\n
12\/20 9:08 AM — <\/strong>Jets head coach Robert Saleh<\/strong> just confirmed Aaron Rodgers<\/strong> will, indeed, not play this season … though the team is still activating him off injured reserve so he can continue his recovery on the field with his teammates.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “It’s all part of his rehab,” Saleh told reporters Wednesday morning. “Just having him on the field is a plus for everybody, for him and his teammates.”<\/p>\n Aaron Rodgers <\/strong>will not make a miraculous comeback to the Jets this season after all … the quarterback just revealed he’s still about a month away from being fully healthy.<\/p>\n The NY quarterback broke the news just minutes ago on “The Pat McAfee Show<\/strong>” … saying his body is just not quite ready for him to get back under center for the Jets in 2023.<\/p>\n He told Pat he’s close — but his leg still needs about 3-to-4 weeks to possibly get to “100 percent.”<\/p>\n “If I was 100 percent today,” the 40-year-old said on the show, “I’d be pushing to play.”<\/p>\n Rodgers initially blew out his Achilles on Sept. 11 — and he worked like a mad man to try to make his return to the Jets this weekend.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He had said the decision would be contingent upon two things<\/strong> — if he was healthy enough, and if the Jets were in playoff contention.<\/p>\n However, neither situation came to fruition — and Rodgers seemed to make it clear to McAfee he’s now turning his sights toward getting ready for 2024.<\/p>\n “Now without a timetable to come back obviously we can be as smart as we can be,” Rodgers said.<\/p>\n What’s interesting — the QB was asked during his appearance on the show if next season would be his last … and he said frankly, “I don’t think so.”<\/p>\n He explained that moving on from Green Bay to New York gave him “a renewed passion for the game.”<\/p>\n The 5-9 Jets will now officially have to finish off their season without their superstar against Washington, Cleveland and then New England.<\/p>\n Aaron Rodgers Carried Off Field With Injury During First Career Jets Drive <\/h4>\n
