Aaron Rodgers is medically cleared to return to play next week after being out since week 1 with an Achilles injury, but his body language on the sidelines pretty much guarantees he’s not coming back this season.
On Sunday, the NY Jets got absolutely destroyed by the Miami Dolphins and found themselves down 24 points while getting shutout in the first half.
During the game, CBS’ cameras caught Rodgers looking disgusted while watching the offense struggle vs the Dolphins’ defense.

A few weeks ago, Rodgers told Pat McAfee that he would only return this season if the Jets were in the playoff hunt.
“Obviously, we’ve got to be in the mix, there’s no doubt about it,” “But more than that, I’ve got to be able to be healthy, to be able to move, to be able to protect myself, to be able to have strength in all the throws”
If the Jets lose to the Dolphins on Sunday, they fall to 5-9 and would need a miracle run to make the playoffs.
