At the start of the 2023 NFL season, the New York Jets faced the loss of Aaron Rodgers due to a tough Achilles injury. Initially expected to sideline him for the entire campaign, preparations are now in place for his triumphant return.

There’s still hop for the Jets this year. This week, they got a huge victory against the Houston Texans and, despite the chances are low, they are still in the hunt for a spot in the playoffs as a Wild Card round team.

This win not only increased their playoff chances but also the opportunity to see Aaron Rodgers once again geared up. The quarterback recently said that he would only return if the Jets could still advance, and it seems like everything is ready for his comeback.

Fortunately for fans, the Jets secured a huge victory this weekend, boosting the prospects of seeing Rodgers in action this season. With New York now standing at a 5-8 record, although not yet in the next phase, this win keeps them in contention for the Wild Card round.

According to TMZ, Rodgers is expected to be cleared medically for game action before ahead of the Jets December 24th match against the Commanders. If Aaron returns to play by that date, he would play the last three games of the season.
