Aaron Rodgers was medically cleared and returned to training with the New York Jets, although the team has a deadline to remove the quarterback from Injured Reserve so he can play.
Aaron Rodgers’ return to the New York Jets is getting closer to fruition. In addition to the fact that the player himself had said that he would return before the end of the season, it is now known that he was medically cleared to train, after having undergone surgery for a ruptured Achilles tendon, and images were already shown sharing with his teammates. .
It is time then for the NFL franchise to remove the quarterback from the Injured Reserve and has until December 20 to do so. Considering that Robert Saleh, the coach, said to the media: “If the doctors clear him, then we will clear him,” it is clear that he will be activated.
Precisely the period for the Jets to release the American from the reserve expires days before the team plays against the Washington Commanders, a rival that Rodgers wanted to face upon his return. However, as ESPN explains, the medical discharge was given for what is known as functional American football activity, although not for contact, something that should be taken into account when thinking about his return.

He also left in Of course: “The speed at which I am doing rehabilitation has been the same from the beginning, pushing as much as I can each day.”
Regarding the idea of having been injured on September 12 and already thinking about returning, the four-time MVP winner said: “I know it sounds crazy, but if you do a good surgery and have a good patient, this is possible.” ”.
