FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers says he'll use doubters as motivation in his rehabilitation from Achilles tendon surgery and indicates he'll play football again — perhaps even this season.
Rodgers tore his left Achilles tendon on the fourth snap of his debut with his new team on Monday night, a 22-16 overtime victory over Buffalo.

A lot of sadness, a lot of tears, a lot of dark frustration and anger, all the gamut of emotions.
“I’m very confident in Zach and I think he’s confident himself, which is the most important thing,” Rodgers said.
