Source: Aaron Rodgers to make Jets debut Saturday vs. Giants

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who hasn't played in the preseason since 2018, will make his New York Jets debut Saturday against the New York Giants in the preseason finale, a source confirmed Sunday.

Rodgers, 39, has participated in every training camp practice, but he watched from the sideline as backup Zach Wilson started the first three games. The four-time MVP will get a quick tuneup before the Jets face the Buffalo Bills in the Sept. 11 season opener on "Monday Night Football."

The decision isn't a surprise, as coach Robert Saleh indicated at the start of the preseason that playing Rodgers against the Giants was a possibility.
