Aaron Rodgers hasn’t played in the preseason since 2018, but this has not been a typical year for the four-time MVP with his move from Green Bay to New York.
After sitting out the first two preseason matchups, Rodgers will don his new shade of green for the first time in an actual game when the Jets face the Giants on Saturday.
Rodgers suffered a surprising loss to the Giants in London last season, and he’s set to face them again in October. Playing in this game should allow Rodgers to get another feel for Don Martindale’s defense, even if the Giants don’t play all of their starters.
It will almost certainly be a brief appearance for Rodgers, who will be trying to preserve his health while getting acclimated to his new surroundings. Fans who have waited months to see Rodgers dropping back in a Jets uniform will finally get that chance — even if it’s just a prelude to New York’s season opener against the Bills.
