Aaron Rodgers suffers suspected torn achilles on debut but Jets win thriller

Quarterback forced off with injury against Bills on opening drive as undrafted rookie Gipson wins game in overtime on punt return

CONCERN: Aaron Rodgers of the New York Jets left the game injured. 

Aaron Rodgers’s New York Jets debut was short and brutal. The four-time NFL MVP left the field with a suspected torn achilles during the first series of his career with New York, who went on to beat the Buffalo Bills in thrilling fashion on Monday night.

“MRI is gonna confirm what we think is already gonna happen. But it’s not good,” the Jets head coach, Robert Saleh, said after the game. Rodgers will undergo the MRI on Tuesday. A torn achilles would almost certainly rule him out for the entire season. In many cases, the injury ends NFL careers.
