It's "not out of the question" that Aaron Rodgers could return this season, sources said. But he has not and will not put a specific timeline on his return.
Rams' running back Cam Akers tore his Achilles and came back faster than virtually any professional athlete: just under five months. Rodgers tore his Achilles Sept. 11 -- exactly five months to the day of this season's Super Bowl in Las Vegas.
Of course, there are other factors that will play into any potential quick return. The Jets have to do their part by winning and make his return possible and worthwhile.
