Transcript

00:02 First of all, let's get it clear.
00:04 I call Aaron Rodgers at the age of 39
00:06 and coming back at the age of 40 young
00:09 'cause he's younger than me.
00:10 That's the definition, right?
00:12 The recovery though, it's actually become fairly reliable.
00:16 The rehab is grueling
00:17 and the surgery itself is actually fairly simple surgery.
00:21 It's the recovery timeline and the rehab that is grueling.
00:26 But the good news is you can count on
00:29 that he will be ready to go for the start of next season.
00:32 That's what I've been saying.
00:34 And today, Aaron Rodgers has even indicated that.
00:37 I think he's gonna be there for the Jets next season
00:40 with a slam slight chance of something funny happening
00:44 and accelerating and coming back to the Jets
00:47 late, late this season or playoffs.
00:49 There is no way that guy's playing this year.
00:53 There is no way that that guy is coming back
00:56 from an Achilles.
00:57 Tell people what the rehab is like from this surgery.
01:02 I had, now listen, even rotator cuff surgery,
01:07 the first three months I could lift my arm
01:09 not even five inches.
01:12 It takes nine months
01:14 and that's nothing compared to an Achilles.
01:17 What is the general rehab for an Achilles tear
01:21 and surgery to fix it
01:23 and the steps you have to go through to recover?
01:26 It's a lot of months.
01:28 Remember Cam Akers returned to play at six months
01:31 and he wasn't 100%.
01:32 We talked about that,
01:34 but the position of running back takes a lot more.
01:37 I'm just saying, look,
01:38 I don't think he's coming back this year.
01:39 I agree with you, Scott.
01:41 I'm just saying there's a slim sliver chance
01:44 like a winning the lottery chance that he could.
01:47 But you watch when he's back on the sidelines
01:50 around the middle of this season,
01:52 walking around in a boot,
01:54 the rumors are gonna start to fly again.
01:56 But that also adds credence that he's ready to go
02:00 for week one next season, no problem.
