Aaron Rodgers' whereabouts during unexcused Jets minicamp absence revealed: report

Aaron Rodgers missed the New York Jets mandatory minicamp. Colin Cowherd and Julian Edelman discuss how this looks for the Jets and their outlook on this season.

The New York Jets had a glaring hole in their mandatory minicamp roster, as quarterback Aaron Rodgers was not present before the team broke for their summer rest period prior to training camp. 

Jets head coach Robert Saleh noted that Rodgers let the team know that he was not going to make it to minicamp, but it still went down as an unexcused absence. 

Well, according to SNY TV, that absence was a pre-planned trip to Egypt.

SNY added that Rodgers had planned the trip during his Achilles injury recovery. 

The report goes on to say the Jets were made aware of Rodgers’ trip when minicamp dates were announced for June 11 and 12. However, despite the unexcused absence, SNY reported the Jets are not concerned that this will impact Rodgers heading into camp. 

Rodgers was not absent for the entire offseason workout program for the Jets, as he was present for the team’s Phase 1 of voluntary workouts. While he did miss a week of Phase 2, Rodgers was present for every organized team activity.
