Jets injured star quarterback Aaron Rodgers has not been shy about sharing his desire to potentially return to the playing field in 2023, despite suffering a torn Achilles in the season opener against Buffalo.

In recent interviews, the 39-year old signal-caller stated he is well ahead of the original recovery schedule due the fact that his rehab is far from “normal.” 

“There is common practices about six weeks in a boot, and I was in a shoe in like 13 days,” Rodgers told ESPN’s Pat McAfee on Tuesday. “Again, this is just my mindset.”

The 10-time Pro Bowler has stated that his mantra is “just because something has never been done doesn’t mean it’s not possible.” On Saturday, the four-time NFL MVP shared black and white photos supporting his strong statements about a quick return to his Instagram page.

“Three weeks into the rise to recovery. #healing,” Rodgers posted as the caption for his rehabilitation pictures.

After an offseason filled with Super Bowl aspirations, Rodgers and the Jets are mired in a 1–3 start with much-maligned quarterback Zach Wilson at the helm.

While there is only so much an athlete can do to speed up the healing process from such a serious injury, Rodgers remains determined to prove he can do the impossible. 

On Sunday, Rodgers will be rooting on his teammates as they look to snap a three-game losing streak when they head to Denver to take on Russell Wilson and the Broncos at 4:25 p.m. ET.
