New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers' 2023 season is over before it ever really got started. After the quarterback was injured on his fourth play of the Jets' opening game, head coach Robert Saleh told reporters following the Jets' 22-16 overtime victory over the Buffalo Bills that they feared that the four-time NFL MVP tore his Achilles tendon. That is what was ultimately discovered following an MRI on Tuesday, CBS Sports NFL Insider Jonathan Jones reports.
"It's not good," Saleh said.
The injury will 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. After initially being labeled as questionable to return with an ankle injury, he was later downgraded to out. The Jets announced that his X-rays were negative.
Rodgers suffered the injury after being sacked by veteran pass rusher Leonard Floyd on a first-and-10 with 11:40 remaining in the first quarter. While it appeared at first that Rodgers was OK, he went back down to the turf while officials stopped play.

Wilson outplayed Allen last night, I think he grew up a lot last night. Allen outplayed himself. He had that crazy look in his eyes again, and when that happens, it turns into frantic hero-ball for him.

Something needs to be done about that artificial turf. No reason to have artificial turf at an outdoor stadium.

Zach Wilson is a disaster. He still runs the wrong way when pressured.
If the Jets don’t win the turnover battle by +3 every game they will lose.

Jets defense is pretty stout. I think they’ll give Dak fits next week.
That may very well be a battle of Field Goals.

Exactly what was expected for Jets fans. Anything else would have been weird.

Josh Allen was Josh Awful last night. Turnovers aside, there were open receivers all over the field he missed.

He collapsed last season, and it’s carried over.
Who would have guessed that Mahomes, Burrow and Allen would all lose Week 1?

Jets will lose by 21 points next week.
Wilson needs a short field (40 yards) to be productive and even then its questionable

Rodgers can be wheeled onto the Alex Trebek stage to host Jeopardy! while Mayim Bialik is on an extended sympathy strike with the Actors Guild.

I will wager that Arods injury will mark the beginning of the end for astro turf in the NFL. This event will spark a MASSIVE conversation across sports that will end in the NFL declaring that astro turf must be elimintaed by 2028 or sooner. IMHO
