Aaron Rodgers will be suiting up in pads and taking the field as the New York Jets' quarterback for the first time in their final preseason game against the New York Giants. Previously, Rodgers had been seen in a T-shirt and hat, wearing a headset to communicate with his backup quarterbacks. However, the Jets have decided to give the four-time MVP some game action before the regular season begins. Rodgers has expressed his willingness to play in the preseason if given the opportunity.This will be Rodgers' first preseason appearance since 2018 when he played for the Green Bay Packers. Since then, the Packers have opted not to risk injury to their star quarterback. Saturday's game will also be the first time Rodgers won't be wearing green and gold in his 18 NFL seasons. He has already made a mark on the Jets' training site, commenting on the lonely-looking Super Bowl III trophy in the lobby.
The Jets are optimistic about their chances of breaking their 12-year playoff drought and contending for a Super Bowl. However, it is uncertain whether Rodgers' top offensive weapons will be in the lineup with him for the preseason game. Reports from training camp have praised Rodgers' throws, particularly to Garrett Wilson, indicating a growing chemistry. However, the offensive line has been a concern, as highlighted in the latest episode of HBO's "Hard Knocks" and during joint practices with other teams.
Fans are eagerly anticipating Rodgers' debut in a Jets uniform and will get a close look at the team's offense, including the offensive line, in this final preseason game.
