Is Aaron Rodgers targeting a Christmas Eve return?

The Jets are somehow 3-3 despite losing quarterback Aaron Rodgers to a torn Achilles four snaps into his Gang Green career.

However, Rodgers has jumped headfirst into his recovery and, according to WFAN’s Brandon Tierney, he could be back this season. Christmas Eve against the Washington Commanders in Week 16, to be exact.

Tierney provided more details on his daily radio show with co-host Sal Licata:

Licata is right that the Jets will very likely be out of the playoff race by then.
