Jets worst fears confirmed, Aaron Rodgers lost for 2023 season with torn Achilles [View all]

EAST RUTHERFORD — An MRI Tuesday morning confirmed that New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers will be lost for the remainder of the 2023 NFL season due to a torn Achilles, as first reported by NFL Network.

The MRI results come after the quarterback went down just four plays into his New York career and did not return to the game after was carted off the field following a long stay in the medical tent. While X-rays were negative, most scans do not show tendon injuries like the one Rodgers sustained.

New York came back to beat the AFC East-rival Bills 22-16 in overtime. Now, the win seems hollow as it confirms the team will be without the quarterback which had seemingly changed the culture at 1 Jets Drive forever.

In Rodgers’ place, the Jets will turn to Zach Wilson to right the ship. He went 14-of-21 passing for 140 yards with a touchdown and interception in New York’s win. While he performed admirably in the fourth quarter, the Jets could also look to add another quarterback to the roster for depth purposes.
