Aaron Rodgers’ first full season with the Jets has been filled with injury-related questions, from his expedited Achilles recovery in the offseason to the hamstring, knee and ankle injuries that resulted in appearances on the injury report starting in Week 5.
But Rodgers, according to NFL.com, has avoided undergoing any scans for those injuries because he doesn’t want “to reveal the severity of his injuries out of fear of having to come off the field. He has insisted that he keep playing.”
The 40-year-old has said publicly he feels healthy and has been a full participant in each of Gang Green’s practices since Oct. 28, and the next day, Rodgers joked about punter Thomas Morstead’s cayenne pepper and water mixture helping him find the “fountain of youth.”
