He needs surgery.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Saleh said he didn\u2019t have information on the four-time Most Valuable Player\u2019s surgery schedule and recovery process. At 39, Rodgers is the second oldest player in the league, and this was to be his 19th season.   <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Saleh told reporters, \u201cWe know it\u2019s torn. That\u2019s been confirmed.\u201d   <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      The injury occurred during the team\u2019s first drive in the first quarter when Rodgers  was sacked by Bills edge rusher Leonard Floyd.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Rodgers hobbled up for a few moments before going back down to the ground. He was attended to by the Jets\u2019 medical staff before being helped off the field at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.   <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      After being looked at in the blue medical tent on the sidelines, the 39-year-old was taken to the locker room on a cart, and he missed the rest of the game.   <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Backup quarterback Zach Wilson entered the game for the injured Rodgers. Saleh said Tuesday Wilson is the No. 1 quarterback for the rest of the year.   <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Rodgers was the key acquisition in the offseason for the Jets, who haven\u2019t made the playoffs since the 2010 season. Some NFL commentators thought Rodgers could deliver a chance at a postseason spot and perhaps a title.  <\/p>\n<div class=\"gallery-inline gallery--hidden\">\n<div class=\"gallery-inline__main\">\n<div class=\"gallery-inline__container\">\n<div class=\"gallery-inline__slides\">                                                                                                                                <\/div>\n<p>        <button class=\"gallery-inline__prev-overlay\"><\/button>        <button class=\"gallery-inline__next-overlay\"><\/button>      <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5 class=\"gallery-inline__headline\">The best photos from the 2023 NFL season<\/h5>\n<div class=\"gallery-inline__counter\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"gallery-inline__controls\">        <button class=\"gallery-inline__prev\">          Prev                  <\/button>        <button class=\"gallery-inline__next\">          Next                  <\/button>      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      The Jets edged the Bills, who are considered a Super Bowl contender \u2013 with a late touchdown Monday night and Wire thinks the New York team could still win a lot of games.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Before being traded in the offseason, Rodgers had spent the first 18 seasons of his NFL career with the Green Bay Packers, where he led the team to a 31-25 victory in Super Bowl XLV in 2011.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph inline-placeholder\">      Rodgers won MVP awards in 2011, 2014, 2020 and 2021 while setting numerous records for his accuracy and deadliness over the years.  <\/p>\n\n<div>This post appeared first on cnn.com<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, making his debut with the New York Jets, was carted off the field after suffering a left Achilles injury on just his fourth play in the team\u2019s Monday Night Football game against the Buffalo Bills and will miss the rest of the 2023 season.
