FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers' next snap in a game for the New York Jets will come almost exactly a year since his last.
Coach Robert Saleh announced Thursday that Rodgers and the rest of the Jets’ starters will not play in the preseason finale against the Giants on Saturday night.
The 40-year-old Rodgers tore his left Achilles tendon on his fourth snap in his debut with the Jets last year on Sept. 11 against Buffalo. He said Tuesday he didn’t "really have a preference” as to whether he played in the preseason finale, which will be the Jets’ final dress rehearsal before the opener at San Francisco on Sept. 9.
With Saleh's decision, none of the Jets' projected starters will have played in any of the preseason games.
