Aaron Rodgers insists concern over Jets' O-line 'pretty low'

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- This would've been a good time for New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers to break out his famous "R-E-L-A-X" line from 2014.

Despite six sacks and numerous pressures in a joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Wednesday, Rodgers insisted his concern level about the offensive line is "pretty low." He preached patience, suggesting the pass-protection issues will get resolved once the starting five is set.

"It's Aug. 16, so we've got some time," he said. "Also, it's coming up."

The Jets faced the Bucs without guards Laken Tomlinson (leg) and Alijah Vera-Tucker (ankle) and left tackle Duane Brown (shoulder), who remains on the physically unable to perform list.
