CBS Sports reports:
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ 2023 season may be over before it ever really got started. After the quarterback was injured on his fourth play of the year, head coach Robert Saleh told reporters following the Jets’ 22-16 overtime victory over the Buffalo Bills that they fear the four-time NFL MVP tore his Achilles.
There’s an MRI scheduled for Tuesday to confirm. “It’s not good,” Saleh said, per CBS Sports Lead NFL Insider Jonathan Jones. The injury, if confirmed, would be season-ending. On the Jets’ first drive Monday night, Rodgers was injured and helped off the field by trainers. After a visit to the blue medical tent, he was carted to the locker room.
Read the full article. Rodgers, you will recall, reportedly lied to his former team, the Green Bay Packers, about having been vaccinated and later ranted that the “woke mob” wanted to destroy his career after he tested positive for COVID. In November 2021, he admitted “misleading” his team about his vaccination status, leading the NFL to fine the Packers $300,000. Weeks later Rodgers complained that his playing with being impacted by “COVID toe.”

It’s probably too late to make an Aaron Rodgers vaccine joke but I thought I’d give it a shot

ESPN is now reporting that Aaron Rodgers is in the Jets’ “medical yurt” and the team shaman is “rubbing ivermectin on the spot where his chakra decoupled.”

Sources tell me Aaron Rodgers is on the phone with Dr. Joe Rogan. Apparently, all he needs to do is ingest a half cup of Mister Clean and a dozen marbles

I’m assuming that the anti-vaxxers who attacked doctors and nurses during COVID19 will now be doxxing and attacking the doctors and nurses treating Aaron Rodgers using X-rays, CT scans, ibuprofen, surgeries, and casts? I half expect Aaron to do it himself.
