The New York Jets suffered a tough loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday, but all eyes were on quarterback Aaron Rodgers as he appeared to be moving gingerly towards the end of the game. Rodgers provided an update on his physical condition on Tuesday, revealing that he was feeling “banged up” after the game.
During an interview on The Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers shed some light on his current state, mentioning that his knee was a little swollen and he had taken some shots during the game. Despite the discomfort, Rodgers emphasized that his condition was nothing out of the ordinary for this point in the regular season.
“I’m feeling a little banged up,” Rodgers admitted. “Took some shots, knee’s a little swollen, but you know just kind of wear-and-tear after Week Four.”
As the Jets prepare for their upcoming game in London against the Minnesota Vikings, there is some concern about how Rodgers’ knee might affect his mobility both inside and outside of the pocket, especially against a formidable Vikings defense.
While Rodgers has not expressed any doubts about his availability for the game, his ability to move around could be a key factor in the Jets’ offensive strategy. With a tough matchup ahead, all eyes will be on Rodgers as he looks to lead his team to victory despite the challenges he’s facing.
