Rodgers' Injuries Impact Jets Before Patriots Game

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is grappling with multiple injuries, including ankle, knee, and a newly emerged hamstring issue, as the team prepares for a crucial divisional game against the New England Patriots. Despite the hamstring injury flaring up during the Jets' Week 7 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich expects Rodgers to play on Sunday. Rodgers's injuries have potentially hindered his mobility, impacting his ability to scramble, a key aspect of his game. The Jets, currently on a four-game losing streak, are relying on Rodgers to help reverse their fortunes in a season where they are 2-5. His performance has been statistically underwhelming, with 10 touchdowns against seven interceptions, as the team struggles offensively, ranking 23rd in total offense. The Jets are also dealing with other player injuries, adding pressure to Rodgers and the team to secure a win against the Patriots.
