New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been making incredible strides to make an early comeback from his torn Achilles injury he suffered in week one. He recently claimed that he would be ready to return to action by mid-December, which would be shocking when you consider his age and the level of injury that he suffered. Now, his stance has changed a little bit amid the Jets’ struggles this season and potentially not being able to make a run for the playoffs.

Aaron Rodgers’ New Stance On Comeback
Despite New York not currently being a playoff team, Rodgers seems to want to make a remarkably early comeback just to prove that he was able to recover in such a quick time. According to Fox Sports reporter Jay Glazer, Rodgers is no longer concerned about the team’s ability to contend for a playoff spot. Glazer also added that Rodgers “still wants to show he was able to come back faster from that Achilles tear— faster than pretty much any quarterback ever.”
NFL Fans Reaction
If Rodgers can make a comeback as soon as this December, it would by far be the fastest a player has recovered from a torn Achilles. NFL fans share vastly different opinions on his progression, with some saying they are looking forward to him coming back as soon as possible, while others are saying they do not want him to play this season.
Holy shit. Aaron Rodgers is moving well! The documentaries made about this comeback are going to be epic. Despite the Jets sucking & not being a playoff team. But his comeback nonetheless is remarkable. #TakeFlight #NFL #NFLtwitter
