Aaron Rodgers Expected to Be Medically Cleared for December 24 Game

Despite Record Recovery from Achilles Injury, Jets' Playoff Prospects May Influence Decision on Rodgers' Return

Aaron Rodgers, New York Jets quarterback, is expected to be medically cleared to return to the field by December 24, in time for the game against the Washington Commanders.
Rodgers' return would mark a record recovery time from a ruptured Achilles tendon, typically a nine-month process, in just 104 days.
Despite the medical clearance, the decision to let Rodgers play will be up to the team's coaches and executives, considering the team's playoff prospects.
The Jets, currently with a 5-8 record, are looking up at six teams between them and a playoff spot, making their postseason chances slim.
The decision on Rodgers' return could also depend on the outcome of the Jets' upcoming game against the 9-3 Miami Dolphins.
