Having an Achilles injury on his first drive of the season, New York Jets star quarterback Aaron Rodgers missed practically the whole 2023 NFL season last year.
Four games into the season, it sounds as though he is once more dealing with an injury, although this one is far less severe.
After the Packers lost to the Denver Broncos on Sunday afternoon, Aaron Rodgers claimed to be "banged up," but he clarified his condition a bit more on Tuesday.
Aaron Rodgers disclosed during his Tuesday afternoon regular visit on The Pat McAfee Show that his knee is "a little swollen" following the loss. He did, however, also somewhat minimize the degree of the damage.
Rodgers reported on Pro Football Talk that he felt a little banged up.
"Took some pictures; knee's a little swollen, but you know just kind of wear-and-tear after Week Four."
Rodgers clearly wants to play through his injury, but it would be fascinating to find how it affects his performance this week.
This weekend the Jets are headed to London to play the Minnesota Vikings.
We'll have to find out whether Rodgers's mobility or throwing ball ability suffers from the injury.
