The New York Jets are really feeling the sting of injuries lately, and it seems like quarterback Aaron Rodgers is the latest victim. On top of his existing knee and ankle issues, he’s now also dealing with a hamstring injury. According to Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich, this hamstring problem is new and popped up during the last game.
They’ll be keeping a close eye on it throughout the week, but Ulbrich is confident that Rodgers will give it his all to get back in shape for the upcoming game. He said, “He’s going to treat his butt off like he always does. Don’t anticipate this affecting him playing.”
It seems like Rodgers may have been holding back during the last game in Pittsburgh, possibly due to the hamstring trouble. Ulbrich mentioned that Rodgers would have limited practice on Wednesday, but it’s not just him- the Jets are having a light practice session due to the extensive list of injuries plaguing the team.
The injury list is quite long, with players like Guard Alijah Vera-Tucker, safety Tony Adams, safety Ashtyn Davis, and defensive tackle Leki Fotu unable to practice at all on Wednesday. Additionally, there are several players who will be limited in practice, including Rodgers, RT Morgan Moses, WR Allen Lazard, LB Quincy Williams, DE Will McDonald, and CB Michael Carter II. However, there’s a silver lining with Carter being back at practice and D.J. Reed fully participating after missing last week with a groin injury.
Jets’ injury woes continue
It looks like the Jets will have their starting cornerbacks available for the upcoming game, but they’ll be missing their starting safeties. It’s definitely a tough situation for the team to navigate, but hopefully, they can make the best of it and come out strong for their game against the Patriots.
In the midst of all these setbacks, it’s important for the team to stay focused and work together to overcome these challenges. As Ulbrich pointed out, “It is new,” referring to Rodgers’ hamstring injury. This just goes to show that unexpected obstacles can arise at any moment, but with determination and hard work, they can be overcome.
Overall, it’s a tough situation for the Jets with so many key players dealing with injuries, but with perseverance and teamwork, they can still put up a strong fight in their upcoming game.
