Aaron Rodgers out of team drills at Tuesday’s OTA

Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers was at Tuesday’s OTA practice, but he didn’t do any of the on-field drills.

Per multiple reporters at the practice, Rodgers stretched and did other warmup work with other players but stood to the side and watched once the team period of the session got underway. There’s no word on why Rodgers did not participate, but videos from the practice showed him moving gingerly on his right leg.

If there were serious concerns about Rodgers’ health, one would think he would be getting treatment rather than standing and watching the drills but Jets head coach Robert Saleh spoke to reporters ahead of the practice so there may not be any update from the team on Tuesday.

The Jets had another scare with another recent acquisition on Tuesday as well. Wide receiver Allen Lazard left the field with trainers at one point, but he returned for 7-on-7 work a short time later.

  1. Oh no! The world will come to a screeching halt while everyone melts down. This will set the Jets back for 60 years!

  2. We all know he loves OTAs. Guy is probably faking an injury so he can sit out. Expect him on the golf course later today.

  3. A bear bit his leg when he was doing his dark cave thing. The bear got annoyed when Rodgers kept shouting ‘I own you’.

  4. Now I’m not a pro athlete or anything, but the one thing that I would try my best to never do is to allow an injury to pop up in the offseason or prior to OTA’s.

  5. There is absolutely no reason to be concerned, as this is all purely precautionary. Aaron is fully committed to playing for at least 65% of the snaps this season.

    In the NBA this sort of thing is referred to as “load management”.

  6. Gute is probably relaxing by the pool, chugging a cold beer and chuckling to himself saying, “Thank the football Gods, he’s now someone else’s headache.”

    I wonder how this comment will age? That problem was a 4 time mvp. We now have a complete unknown. I hope JL kills it but until that time I am going to be a bit worried.

  8. This is what you get when you start hiring old men for a young mans game.

  9. At that age three plus months to fully recover might be pushing it for him to be 100% for game 1. It is the Jets, does anyone expect anything other then a dumpster fire to happen.

  10. Most teams show a video of fans stampeding into practice. The Jets video looks the same but shows them leaving.

  11. Gute’s not flooding A-ron with good receivers was a sin, similar to Grigson in Indianapolis not building an offensive line for Luck.

  12. That problem was a 4 time mvp.
