Report- Aaron Rodgers is likely to be cleared to play this week - NBC Sports
By Wednesday, the Jets have to move quarterback Aaron Rodgers to the active roster or shut him down for the season. Apparently, he’ll end up on the 53-man roster.
Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports that Rodgers “is likely to be medically cleared to play this week upcoming.”
That doesn’t mean he’ll play next Sunday, against the Commanders. One big factor is whether the risk of playing Rodgers is justified by the potential reward. Lose Sunday to the Dolphins, and the Jets will fall to 5-9. At that point, they could be done — as a practical matter.
The news has a potential benefit. It could be the kick in the ass the Jets need to beat Miami and get to 6-8. Which would then give them a chance to get to 9-8, if they run the table with Rodgers under center.
