New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said he fears Aaron Rodgers has damaged his Achilles tendon after the quarterback left Monday's game against the Buffalo Bills due to an injury sustained on his first drive with his new team.
'We're concerned with his Achilles,' Saleh admitted to reporters after the game, which the Jets won 22-16.'An MRI is probably going to confirm what we think has happened, so prayers tonight. But it's not good.' he added grimly.The former Green Bay Packers quarterback was injured four plays into his first drive during his debut for the Jets.
X-rays on Rodgers' left ankle were negative, but reports began to surface during the game that the Achilles was the focus of the injury. The 39-year-old veteran was wearing a medical boot on his left foot when he returned to the locker room.'That part sucks,' Saleh said of weighing the impact of Rodgers' injury against the joy of winning on a punt-return touchdown in overtime.'I'm going to enjoy this win. Winning in the NFL is hard regardless of who the quarterback is.
