With Aaron Rodgers unlikely to suit up again this season, the New York Jets quarterback revealed Tuesday that he had always been eyeing a return from Achilles surgery on Christmas Eve against the Washington Commanders.

"It's the most disappointing thing about the whole rehab process... The 24th was literally on my mind," Rodgers said during his weekly appearance on the Pat McAfee Show. " ... I felt like that was reasonable based on my progress. ... The 24th was always what I was focused on."
