NFL superstar Aaron Rodgers went down with an apparent injury during the first game of his New York Jets career on Monday Night Football, bringing his big debut to a screeching halt.
According to the report by TMZ, Jets head coach Robert Saleh who met with media members following his team’s improbable win over the Bills, said Aaron Rodgers suffered an Achilles injury and “it’s not good.”
Aaron Rodgers was getting drilled on numerous occasions as the Jets started their first offensive drive of the matchup against the Buffalo Bills, with several defensive players making their way to the backfield and knocking him down.
But just 6 minutes into the game, Rodgers took a hit from former first-round pick Leonard Floyd that would prove to be a major blow, because even though he was initially able to get back up on his feet, he sat back down on the grass with a concerned look on his face.
Rodgers was then assisted off the field alongside medical staffers and was later taken away on a cart as Zach Wilson took over under centre.
