Caption: Aaron Rodgers Begins Healing Process After Season-Ending Achilles Tear. On September 13, New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers said that he would "rise yet again" after suffering a season-ending torn Achilles tendon. NBC reports that Rodgers, a four-time NFL MVP, was injured during his debut game with the Jets. "I'm completely heartbroken and moving through all of the emotions, but deeply touched and humbled by the support and love." "Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I begin the healing process today.", Aaron Rodgers, via X. According to his coach, the serious injury will require surgery. NBC reports that orthopedic doctors consider a torn Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel, one of the most challenging injuries for an athlete. An Achilles injury can impact a person's ability to walk, let alone the ability to run, jump or quickly change direction, all necessary attributes to play in the NFL. NBC reports that Rodgers will require both physical therapy and rehab in order to make a full recovery. In a post to X, Rodgers thanked everyone who had reached out to show their support and said that better days are still ahead. "The night is darkest before the dawn. And I shall rise yet again.", Aaron Rodgers, via X. THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
