Aaron Rodgers, the New York Jets quarterback, has played through multiple significant injuries this season, including hamstring, knee, and ankle problems. Despite the injuries, which have impacted his performance, Rodgers has resisted getting medical scans to determine their severity, prioritizing playing over addressing the issues. His decision to play despite injury has contributed to the Jets' poor 3-8 record. The team is hoping for improvement in the remaining games and considering Rodgers' future with the franchise. His sustained injuries are potentially more serious than publicly acknowledged.
