Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said Wednesday that the star quarterback returned to his teammates after a week’s leave looking refreshed.
“As long as he’s healthy, my plan will be to play him,” Ulbrich said. And I know, having discussed it with him, that we are on the same wavelength. »
Rodgers, who will celebrate his 41ste birthday Monday, was bothered by numerous injuries to his left leg, including a sore knee, a sprained ankle and tight hamstring muscles.
All this, after recovering from a torn Achilles tendon in the same leg that limited him to just four center throws last season.
“He’s doing a lot better today than earlier this season,” admitted Ulbrich. After speaking with him over the past five or six weeks, he admitted that he was feeling much better now. »
This is what Rodgers said on Tuesday during his weekly intervention as part of the Pat McAfee Showensuring that he “feels good”.
Rodgers also mentioned that he is thinking about next season, whether he wants to play with the Jets or retire.
