Aaron Rodgers exits MNF game vs. Bills in 1st quarter due to ankle injury

A nightmare situation transpired on the field on a night that was supposed to be a celebration for Jets fans.

Just four plays into their first offensive possession, Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffered what the team called an ankle injury after Bills edge rusher Leonard Floyd sacked him. Rodgers came up limping after the play and eventually sat down on the field before he had to be helped to the sideline by trainers.

He ultimately went into the blue medical tent with the Jets medical staff.

The Jets later said Rodgers would be out for the remainder of the game as his x-rays were negative. On X.com, formerly known as Twitter, NFL Network showed a video of Rodgers riding to the x-ray room with a boot on his left foot.

Zach Wilson, who started at quarterback the last two years for the Jets, replaced Rodgers, trotting onto the field as the crowd at MetLife Stadium went from loud and rowdy to quiet.

Rodgers was traded to the Jets last April with many pundits believing they had a chance to contend for a Super Bowl. If Rodgers is out for an extended period of time, the Jets playoff aspirations could go up in smoke.

Wilson has started 22 games in his career as he has thrown for 4,022 yards, 15 touchdowns, and 18 interceptions.

Rodgers led the Jets onto the field during pregame ceremonies commemorating the 22nd anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks, holding the American flag as he made his highly-anticipated entrance.

Now, the Jets — and their fans — have to hope Rodgers is back on the field soon.
