Aaron Rodgers Carried Off Field With Injury During First Career Jets Drive

Well … this sucks.

NFL superstar Aaron Rodgers went down with an apparent injury during the first game of his New York Jets career on Monday Night Football … bringing his big debut to a screeching halt.

Rodgers was getting drilled on numerous occasions as the Jets started their first offensive drive of the matchup against the Buffalo Bills … with several defensive players making their way to the backfield and knocking him down.

But just 6 minutes into the game, #8 took a hit from former first-round pick Leonard Floyd that would prove to be a major blow … ’cause even though he was initially able to get back up on his feet, he sat back down on the grass with a concerned look on his face.

Rodgers was then assisted off the field alongside medical staffers … and was later taken away on a cart as Zach Wilson took over under center.

Jets coach Robert Saleh told ESPN’s broadcast team Rodgers appeared to have hurt his ankle … although the extent of the injury is unknown at this time.

It will be a huge bummer for the Jets if Rodgers is forced to miss time … as the team’s acquisition of the Super Bowl champ had the entire league expecting a turnaround this season.
