Mac Jones commented on Aaron Rodgers’ season-ending injury

The season-ending injury to New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers sent shockwaves throughout the NFL. Several players reacted to Rodgers’ injury in the following days, including New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones.

Rodgers suffered the injury after only four plays as the starting quarterback for the Jets. It was announced Tuesday that he would miss the rest of the 2023 season with a torn Achilles. From a football perspective, the injury now has shifted things in the AFC East landscape.

New England is set to face the Jets for the first time this season in Week 3. Jones offered his thoughts on the injury during his meeting with the media on Wednesday.

“Obviously, prayers to him,” said Jones, via NESN’s Zack Cox. “Great player, Hall of Fame player. I hope he has a good recovery.”

Before the Patriots get their crack at the Jets, they’ll have a difficult divisional matchup on Sunday night against the Miami Dolphins. It’s early in the season, but both games could have significant ramifications on the AFC East as a whole.
