Aaron Rodgers arrives for start of Jets’ offseason program

The Jets are back in Florham Park as the team begins their offseason program Monday. One notable name among those back in action: quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Rodgers is seven months removed from his Achilles surgery. He pushed to play at the end of the season before the Jets were eliminated from playoff contention in Week 15. The team still activated Rodgers from injured reserve to allow him to continue rehabbing and practicing.

Rodgers is healthier and ready to lead the Jets in what is a pressure-packed season, one that will determine the futures of various people in the building, not the least of whom are head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas.

As of Monday, all 32 teams are back at their training facilities. This first phase of the program is strength and conditioning. The Jets’ first OTAs are set for May 20, and their mandatory minicamp is June 11-13.
