What are Aaron Rodgers' preseason stats? Exploring 4x MVP's record amid his absence from preseason games

Why isn't Aaron Rodgers participating in the 2024 preseason?

Rodgers hasn't played in a competitive NFL game in almost a year as he recovers from his 2023 season-ending injury. Hence, it wasn't a surprise when Jets' head coach Robert Saleh said Rodgers won't play in the first two preseason games and they will discuss if he'll play at all in the third and final one.

According to Yahoo Sports, the Jets might let Rodgers get a few snaps in their third 2024 preseason game. However, it's looking increasingly likely that Selah would rather save their superstar quarterback until their 2024 opening game on September 9, 2024, in Santa Clara, California.

What to expect from Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets in 2024?

Expect Rodgers to have a bounce-back season in 2024. The one-time Super Bowl champ has something to prove, as analysts have regularly questioned his ability in the clutch. He has been away from the game for almost a year, so it's highly unlikely that he'll be short of motivation.

As for the New York Jets, expect the franchise to break its playoff drought in the upcoming season. A healthy Rodgers should be the missing piece to a potentially deep postseason run. However, let's wait and see whether Rodgers will be the same player he was before last season's Achilles injury.
