Starter Mac Jones did not throw during the portion of practice open to reporters, and his status remains uncertain.

Aaron Rodgers' Uncertain Return and Conspiracy Theories Surrounding His Injury

There is no logical reason for Aaron Rodgers to return and play for the New York Jets this season, despite his claims and insinuations. Recovering from an Achilles tear in just two months would be unprecedented, especially for a 40-year-old quarterback. The Jets' struggling offense and lack of playoff contention further diminish the need for Rodgers to rush back. It would be wiser for him to focus on a full recovery and return to form next year.
