A few minutes into Week 1’s edition of “Monday Night Football,” the NFL world came to a halt as New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers left the game with a leg injury.
On Tuesday, the league’s worst fears were realized when the 18-year veteran — who is a near-lock to be a first-ballot Hall of Fame selection — was confirmed to have suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon that will end his season.
Following the injury, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes posted a message of support to his X account.
