Aaron Rodgers is set to make his return to the field as the New York Jets take on the Buffalo Bills on Monday night. After dealing with a sprained ankle and a hamstring issue, Rodgers was able to participate fully in practice on Saturday, indicating that he is ready to play.
Despite a tough outing in London last Sunday where he threw three interceptions, Rodgers is looking sharp in practice according to interim coach Jeff Ulbrich. Ulbrich took over for the fired Robert Saleh earlier in the week and made some changes to the coaching staff, including demoting offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett.
In terms of injuries, the Jets will be without nickel cornerback Michael Carter II, who suffered a back injury during warmups last week. Linebacker C.J. Mosley, who has missed the last three games with a toe injury, is listed as questionable but has been making progress in practice.
There is some good news on the injury front for the Jets as well. Defensive tackle Leki Fotu is “trending” towards playing after spending the first five games on injured reserve, and right tackle Morgan Moses is likely to return after missing two games with a knee injury.
Overall, the Jets are looking to bounce back from their recent loss and secure a win against the Bills with Rodgers back in action. The team is hopeful that the return of key players and the changes in coaching staff will help them turn things around on Monday night.
