Aaron Rodgers’ Torn Achilles Accident Report

The unfortunate event happened on Monday near the start of the first quarter. After four snaps, Rodgers was reportedly sacked by Buffalo’s Leonard Floyd by which Tuesday MRI confirmed his torn Achilles. Despite the accident, the Jets still pulled off a 22-16 victory over the latter’s team through the replacement of Zach Wilson as quarterback. Due to Rodgers’ torn Achilles, Wilson will start playing for the Jets next Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys.

According to the report, Rodgers was able to get up after he was sacked but later stumbled to the ground in agony where medical staff of his team quickly attended to help him off the field. He was initially said to be able to return to the game but the severity of his torn Achilles downgraded it and eventually made his season over for the Jets.
