Patriots defensive tackle Davon Godchaux honestly assessed where Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is physically now.
After New England’s 25-22 victory on Sunday, Godchaux said of Rodgers, “Hall of Fame quarterback. I Hate to see him go out that way. . . . He doesn’t look the same. . . . Shit, I could run him down and catch him. He doesn’t look mobile at all.”
Aaron Rodgers hadn’t heard Godchaux’s comments, but he didn’t argue.
“He’s probably right,” Aaron Rodgers said Tuesday, via Rich Cimini of ESPN. “Yeah, I was hurting, but I feel better today.”
Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles on the fourth play last season, but he said that injury hasn’t been an issue this season. This season, he has missed practice time with hamstring, knee, and ankle injuries.
He is on the practice report this week with the knee and hamstring injuries but was estimated as a full participant Tuesday.
Aaron Rodgers said he is taking care of himself “non-stop” and feeling better this week.
“I expect to be able to do a lot more this week,” Rodgers said. “I’ll be under center and, hopefully, back to my faster-than-Godchaux speed.”
Aaron Rodgers has 12 touchdowns and seven interceptions, and his passer rating of 85.1 ranks 20th in the NFL and below two rookies.
“Yeah, not as good as I would’ve hoped,” he said of his season. “I’ve got to play better. I just have to be more efficient, and not turn the ball over too many times. Interceptions can be misleading at times, but I’ve had my share of poor throws.”
