Jets QB Aaron Rodgers expected to play despite low ankle sprain
Why it matters: Rodgers' availability for the upcoming game against the Buffalo Bills is crucial for the Jets, who are looking to bounce back after two consecutive losses.
What's new: Coach Robert Saleh confirmed that Rodgers suffered a low ankle sprain during the Jets' recent loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London. However, preliminary indications suggest he will be able to play in the next game.
Yes, but: Despite the injury, Rodgers showed resilience by returning to the field and leading the Jets to a field goal before the game ended in a loss.
What to watch: Keep an eye on Rodgers' mobility and performance during the game against the Bills, as his ankle sprain could potentially impact his ability to move and throw accurately.
Quotes:
- Rodgers on returning to the field despite the injury: "They were trying to get me in the [medical] tent ... I said, 'Screw it, I'm going back out there.'"
- Saleh on Rodgers' injury: "All the preliminary stuff says he'll be fine."
- Rodgers on his interception: "I lost track of Van Ginkel on a blitz, and he wound up throwing the ball right to him."
The bottom line: The Jets will rely on Rodgers' leadership and skill as they aim to turn their season around and secure a victory against the Bills.
