Aaron Rodgers seen rejoining Jets teammates ahead of huge Giants clash after injured QB endures ‘tough week of rehab’ on his Achilles injury

Aaron Rodgers was seen arriving at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, as the injured quarterback joined his Jets teammates ahead of their game with rivals the Giants.

Rodgers was carted to the locker room door before heading in to be with the rest of Robert Saleh’s roster.

The 39-year-old continues to work his way back towards full fitness after suffering a torn Achilles just a few snaps into his Jets career.

Rodgers was seen walking without crutches once more but the quarterback still had a slight limp as wandered into he locker room. 

He revealed a few days ago that this had been a ‘tough week of rehab’. The Jets quarterback has made no secret of his aim to return to the NFL before the end of the season.

But this week’s appearance on the Pat McAfee show did not bring the most optimistic update from the 39-year-old.

‘It has been a tough week of rehab with some smaller gains and it’s been more of a grind the last week or so,’ Rodgers said. ‘I’m not walking without a limp yet.

‘I don’t quite have the strength in my calf to be able to walk without a limp yet. I am competitive, I want to be walking without a limp, so there is some frustration there.’

He added: ‘This is a tough rehab, for sure, because there’s so many little muscles that you got to wake up. Not just the calf muscles and foot muscles. Everything needs to work as a unit. 

‘You’ve got to be careful walking too much with a limp. The goal isn’t to stretch the Achilles, the goal is to stress the Achilles.’

Without Rodgers, the Jets head into Sunday’s game with a 3-3 record. The Giants, meanwhile, are in need of victory having lost five of their opening seven games.
