Aaron Rodgers appeared to pinch his ankle during warmups at the New York Jets OTA in Florham Park, N.JTuesday.
According to ESPN NFL reporter Dianna Russini, appearing on sports center“That doesn’t sound too serious.”
Rodgers remained a spectator for the rest of the workout, taking part in the on-court drills alongside Mike Nicolini, New York’s head strength and conditioning coach, she noted.
“You could see Rodgers trying to put some weight on one of his legs there,” Russini said in a clip from Rodgers diffused warm-up. “We don’t know if it was an adjustment; what kind of injury it is because he doesn’t really show too much. But you could definitely see in his face that something was going on.
Serious or not, an injury to the 39-year-old QB is the last thing Jets fans want to see happen. Zach Wilson, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, took on the QB1 reps.
In other injury news, new WR Allen Lazard – a teammate of Rodgers in Green Bay— left the field with the team coaches for a while, but came back for 7v7.
