The Jets have 21 days to activate Rodgers from the injured reserve list or he'll be sidelined the rest of the season.
He said he needs to make it through consecutive practices and acknowledged the risks of playing and the potential of reinjuring the Achilles tendon.
“I don’t feel like I’m competing against science when it comes to this rehab,” Rodgers said.
Over the next few weeks, Rodgers said he needs to be able to move better in the pocket during practice.
He already reached out to Dolphins linebacker Jaelan Phillips, who tore an Achilles tendon against the Jets last week.
