Aaron Rodgers confirms he will play against Seahawks despite injuries
- Aaron Rodgers, who has faced multiple leg injuries this season, will start for the Jets against the Seattle Seahawks.
- Despite suggestions for him to sit out due to health concerns, coach Jeff Ulbrich confirmed the team is committed to keeping Rodgers in the starting position.
- The Jets continue to struggle with their performance, aiming to improve as they seek to end their postseason drought.
In the United States, the New York Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich confirmed that Aaron Rodgers will continue to be the starting quarterback as they prepare to face the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Rodgers, who is facing various injuries to his left leg, including a sore knee, a sprained ankle, and a strained hamstring, expressed that he felt healthier leading into the match against Indianapolis last Sunday. Despite suffering a significant hamstring injury in Week 4, Rodgers declined medical scans before games to remain eligible for play. Discussions regarding his potential replacement by Tyrod Taylor have emerged on social media amidst the Jets' struggle, but Ulbrich emphasized that there has been no talk of shutting down Rodgers for the season. Moving forward, Ulbrich is focused on improving the team's performance and avoiding a 14th consecutive year without a postseason appearance.
