New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, attempting to make an unprecedentedly quick return from Achilles surgery, said Tuesday that he's «obviously, ahead of schedule» but cautioned that he still has many hurdles to clear before he'll be back on the field.
Rodgers, in his weekly spot on «The Pat McAfee Show,» said it «makes absolutely no sense» to have a specific timetable for return.
He left no doubt, however, that he wants to play again this season. Before that can happen, he said, he must meet specific markers in his recovery, followed by «practicing and everybody signing off on it.
Hopefully, we get to have those conversations.» The four-time MVP surprised many by walking without crutches and throwing for five minutes before Sunday's game at MetLife Stadium.
