New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers said on Wednesday, Sept. 13, he is "heartbroken" after suffering a season-ending injury four plays into the NFL campaign but vowed, "I shall rise yet again."
His much-anticipated Jets debut drew huge attention but ended on his fourth play from scrimmage when he was sacked by Buffalo's Leonard Floyd. Rodgers was helped off the field, carted to the locker room and wore a walking boot as he limped inside. It was the firmest indication so far that his legendary career as one of the NFL's all-time top passers is not yet over.His comments came only hours after Jets coach Robert Saleh said he wasn't buying into speculation that Rodgers might retire, even though it will mean extensive rehabilitation work for a player who turns 40 in December to rewrite his American football farewell.
"I think it's very important," Saleh said of Rodgers staying close to the Jets."I think it's important for him. Mental health and healing, I think that's very important."The impact of a Super Bowl champion can only help motivate players on a team with the longest playoff drought in North American major sports, last reaching the post-season in the 2010 campaign, and a club whose only Super Bowl victory came in 1969.
