The Jets took another step toward the 2024 season by opening their rookie minicamp on Friday, and coach Robert Saleh was looking forward to a future phase of the offseason when he spoke to reporters at a press conference.
Saleh was asked about the plan for quarterback Aaron Rodgers once the team moves into the organized team activities phase of the offseason program on May 20. This will be the first chance for team workouts since the end of the 2023 season and Saleh said he expects Rodgers, who tore his Achilles tendon four plays into his first season with the Jets, to be fully involved in those workouts.
“Once phase three successesWe’re not anticipating any restrictions on what we can or can’t do with him,” Saleh said, via Rich Cimini of ESPN.com.
Last offseason’s work with Rodgers created a lot of excitement about what would happen in his first season with the Jets, but the injury put an immediate end to that. That might temper expectations a bit this time around, but seeing a healthy Rodgers back under center should still generate some excitement around the team.
