New York. NFL professional Aaron Rodgers was injured just minutes after his debut as quarterback of the New York Jets. After the win against the Buffalo Bills on Monday evening (local time), coach Robert Saleh spoke of the suspicion that the 39-year-old newcomer had a torn Achilles tendon. That would already mean the end of Rodgers’ debut season with the Jets.
The playmaker was knocked down in accordance with the rules on the fourth play of the game against the Bills and was unable to continue playing afterwards. TV images showed him being taken for an X-ray with his left foot wrapped in a support shoe. Shortly afterwards, the Jets announced that Rodgers could not continue the game. With Zach Wilson as a substitute playmaker, the Jets still won their home game 22:16 after overtime. (dpa/jW)
