EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw several short passes during the team's warmup period before a game Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, nearly five weeks after tearing his left Achilles tendon.
Rodgers rejoined his teammates for the second time since being injured four snaps into his debut with the Jets on Sept. 11.
Rodgers has said his goal is to return late this season — as long as the 2-3 Jets remain in the playoff hunt.
