Jets' Saleh: Aaron Rodgers 'Looks Like He Never Missed' Time After Achilles Injury

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh is expecting a big year from quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

When asked about Rodgers' play in training camp, Saleh remarked that the verteran "looks like he never missed any time" and that he is showing just why his reputation is so high.

"He's an impressive dude," Saleh said, per Rich Cimini of ESPN."He's a Hall of Famer for a reason."

Rodgers has had an illustrious NFL career. He's a 10-time Pro Bowler, four-time MVP and helped lead the Green Bay Packers to a Super Bowl title. Entering his second season in New York, he's thrown for 59,055 passing yards and 475 touchdowns since entering the league in 2005.

He was acquired by the Jets before the 2023 NFL season and was a major reason why the team had high expectations entering the campaign. Unfortunately, he went down with an Achilles injury just four snaps into the regular season and did not return.

New York went 7-10 and missed out on the postseason for the 13th consecutive season—extending the longest active playoff drought in the NFL. Saleh and the Jets hope Rodgers can end that trend.

Rodgers has made the playoffs 12 times in his career and would not be with the Jets if he thought he couldn't make it at least 13. His health will be the factor that all of those hopes hinge on.
