“He’s Lying” Jets’ Injury Diagnosis For Aaron Rodgers Gets Ripped Apart By Fans

   

The New York Jets are preparing for a matchup with the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.  New York (3-8) may already be looking to the 2025 NFL Draft as their season has been a massive let down.  Seattle (6-5) is trying to stay in first place in the ever-so-close NFC West race.

Prior to the contest, head coach Jeff Ulbrich had an update on Aaron Rodgers’ health.  However, It didn’t sit well with fans.

According to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic:

Jeff Ulbrich said Aaron Rodgers is feeling healthier than he has for the path month and “a healthy Aaron Rodgers is the Aaron Rodgers we all love.”

It will be interesting to see how New York approaches the rest of the season.  There are reports that Rodgers possibly won’t be back in 2025.  Does that mean they’ll do what is necessary to put themselves in position to draft the best quarterback in next year’s draft?  Time will tell.

Fans, however, weren’t buying it:

Here is a look at Rodgers’ stats so far this year:
