New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has done the unthinkable. The 39-year-old has been medically cleared to return to practice 11 weeks after having surgery to repair his ruptured Achilles.
Despite the miraculous comeback and medical anomaly, Rodgers isn’t receiving praise from everyone. Instead, his return is being met with countless attacks and online conspiracies insisting that Rodgers didn’t suffer the injury at all.
Many sports fans have made jokes about Rodgers and his perceived lack of belief in science due to the Jets quarterback’s vaccine stance. Now that the four-time NFL MVP has been cleared to practice, those jokes have increased exponentially.
