Aaron Rodgers strains calf during warmups, sits out first Jets practice open to media

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Aaron Rodgers never made it past warmups in his first New York Jets practice in front of the media. “But every day, there’s been something that’s kind of been a little special sign or a synchronicity or just a cool moment that reminds me that I’m in the right place.” Rodgers has participated in voluntary workouts and practices with his new teammates, something he didn’t consistently do the past three offseasons in Green Bay. “He’s having a blast.” With the Jets, Rodgers is reunited with offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, who led the Packers’ offense during the quarterback’s last two MVP seasons in 2020 and 2021. It’s been all positive.” While the work on the field and in meetings has been good, Rodgers appreciates the “freedom of expression” Saleh allows players to have, balancing fun and accountability. He also joked the only things he previously knew about New Jersey were Teterboro Airport and the show “Jersey Shore.” “I was assured that was not a proper representation of this great state,” a grinning Rodgers said before later adding: “I mean, it’s been like a dream month so far.” NOTES: All-Pro DT Quinnen Williams isn’t participating in voluntary workouts while he awaits a contract extension.
