Will he or won’t he? It is the question that has been hanging around New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers and whether he will be able to return to the field just about two months after he suffered a torn Achilles in the first game of the season.

A torn Achilles injury could have kept Rodgers out for the rest of the season, and it was more likely that Jets fans would not be able to see him play again until the 2024 season. However, Rodgers seems hellbent on returning and trying to sneak New York into the playoffs.

The Jets were on NBC against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday night, and the question came up again. NBC sideline reporter Melissa Stark relayed what the four-time NFL MVP told her. Stark said Rodgers told her he is targeting a mid-December return.

"He said, ‘I know it sounds insane, but you do a good surgery, you have a good patient, it makes this possible,’" Stark said on the broadcast.

Rodgers said he has been working on a weight-limiting treadmill, jogging at 50% of his body weight. His goal this week is to increase it to 75%.
