New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers said Thursday that surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon in his left leg "went great."
The 39-year-old Rodgers suffered the season-ending injury on the fourth snap of his debut with his new team during the Jets' 22-16 overtime win over Buffalo in Week 1.
The four-time NFL MVP posted a photo and statement in an Instagram story the day after his surgery, which was performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache.
"Surgery went great yesterday," the Jets quarterback said in his post. "Thank you for all the love and prayers and support.
