Aaron Rodgers

Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulrbich told reporters Aaron Rodgers (ankle) will play in Week 7 against the Steelers.

Rodgers played through the ankle issue last week and didn’t suffer any setbacks. He won’t participate in today’s walkthrough but isn’t at risk of missing Week 7. The Jets’ offense hasn’t found its footing in Rodgers’ de facto first season with the team, but the newly-acquired Davante Adams should spark an uptick in scoring given Rodgers’ unparalleled connection with him. Rodgers will move up a few spots in the QB2 ranks for his upcoming matchup with the Steelers.
