Aaron Rodgers' Achilles Injury Overshadows Jets' Debut

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has suffered a torn left Achilles tendon, ending his season after just four plays. The injury occurred during Monday night's game against the Buffalo Bills when Rodgers tried to evade a sack. The Jets will now move forward with Zach Wilson as their starting quarterback and are expected to add another quarterback to their roster. Additionally, Rodgers' injury will impact the 2024 draft, as the second-round pick that would have gone to the Green Bay Packers from the Rodgers trade would have become a first-round pick if Rodgers played 65% of the Jets' snaps this season.
