Just 11 weeks after new New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers had surgery to repair his torn left Achilles tendon, the soon-to-be 40-year-old has now returned to practice.
Robinson had his first two-touchdown game last week against New Orleans, scoring on runs and receptions. He had 16 carries for 91 yards one game after a season-high 22 carries for 95 yards and a touchdown against Arizona. Robinson has thrived in the lead role even though the run-first offense also found room for Tyler Allgeier and Cordarrelle Patterson to have significant contributions while quarterback Desmond Ridder also was effective on the ground.
Aaron Rodgers was leaned back in a chair at a board room table in the New York Jets' facility surrounded by a dozen local reporters when a simple question jumpstarted the conversation. Rodgers fully intends to play again this season and he hasn't ruled out being back in a few weeks. The four-time NFL MVP has been making a remarkably quick recovery since tearing his left Achilles tendon four snaps into his debut with the Jets on Sept. 11.

Aaron Rodgers' improbable comeback from a torn Achilles tendon has taken the next step. The New York Jets opened the 21-day practice window for the quarterback on Wednesday — exactly 11 weeks after he had surgery — with Rodgers cleared for some football activities. Coach Robert Saleh said the four-time NFL MVP, who turns 40 on Saturday, will be limited at practice and is not cleared for contact.
