The Aaron Rodgers era didn’t get off to the best start for the New York Jets.
The four-time MVP hasn’t been able to work out as of late after injuring his calf during warmups.
However, and even though he might not be able to get some work done until the end of the week, HC Robert Saleh recently confirmed his rehab is going well.

The Jets will obviously be quite careful and take things slow with their veteran quarterback.
Rodgers isn’t getting any younger, and while he doesn’t have a history of injuries, we’ve already seen how veterans’ bodies start to decline as the years go by.
The Jets know one thing or two about QB injuries.
They struggled to keep their signal-callers healthy last season, which is why Zach Wilson kept coming back and getting more chances to prove his worth.
That obviously wasn’t the case; otherwise, they wouldn’t have given up so much to land one of the greatest passers in the history of the game.
Jets fans will hope this won’t be a nagging issue for Rodgers, who recently claimed that he would be able to play through it if it came down to it.
The Jets have never had a quarterback of Rodgers’ caliber — not even Joe Namath — and they’re expected to be one of the powerhouses out of the AFC next season, so they cannot afford to rush him back to the field, and it’s not like he needs a ton of reps to be at his best.
