Aaron Rodgers Strained Calf At OTAs

According to Josina Anderson, new Jets QB Aaron Rodgers strained his calf at OTAs on Tuesday. 

Anderson adds it’s viewed as a minor injury and Rodgers should be back on the field quickly. The team is understandably being cautious since it’s only May. 

Rodgers warmed up with the team during practice this morning, which was open to the media, however, he ended up not participating after tweaking his calf. 

Rodgers, 39, is a former first-round pick of the Packers back in 2005. He agreed to a four-year, $134 million extension that includes over $100 million guaranteed in 2018. 

Rodgers was owed a base salary of $25 million in the final year of his deal in 2022 when he agreed to a three-year, $150 million extension this offseason with $101 million of the deal guaranteed.

After one year, the Packers traded him to the Jets for a package that included a second-round pick in 2023 and a conditional 2024 second that could become a first. 

In 2022, Rodgers appeared in all 17 games for the Packers and completed 64.6 percent of his passes for 3,695 yards, 26 touchdowns and 12 interceptions to go along with 94 yards rushing and a touchdown.
