It didn’t take long for Jets fans to receive a scare during OTAs.
On Tuesday, the Jets new QB, Aaron Rodgers, participated in OTAs and drills with his teammates.

During one of the drills, the 39-year-old Rodgers apparently injured his ankle and limped off the field, according to a report from ESPN’s Diana Russini.

Aaron Rodgers may have hurt his ankle during a drill; he was limping a little bit. He’s off to the side and not working out with the other QBs. #TakeFlight pic.twitter.com/tJ1T8tsHfT

Rodgers returned to practice but took off his helmet and was removed from doing drills.

It looks like we won’t see Rodgers practice today. He is watching the drills with no helmet. The good news is he is still out here. If he was really hurt, he would be inside. It is also May 23.

Jets fans immediately started freaking out about Rodgers’ injury.
Oh my god Aaron Rodgers is injured.
