Aaron Rodgers: Jets’ preseason plans for quarterback is ‘news to me’

Aaron Rodgers spoke to reporters Wednesday and wasn’t so sure that he wouldn’t play in the preseason this year.

“News to me,” Rodgers said when asked about coach Robert Saleh saying the quarterback would not be playing in the first two preseason games and would likely sit out all three.

Rodgers missing those games would have nothing to do with his recovery from a torn Achilles, with the veteran saying he is 100 percent healthy coming into the season.

“I don’t have any restrictions. I am doing (QB) keepers and roll-outs,” Rodgers said.

Rodgers was laid back talking to reporters after appearing to have a heated discussion with star receiver Garrett Wilson this week.

“Sometimes it takes me or Breece [Hall] or Tyron [Smith] or even Garrett [Wilson] getting on someone to kind of get things going,” Rodgers said. “There’s a certain point where you have to get on guys.”
