Friday, September 15 Update: Rodgers joined Friday’s episode of the Pat McAfee Show. It was his first public appearance since sustaining the season-ending Achilles injury. Rodgers didn’t join the show on Tuesday with everything going on but did say that he will be joining the show every Tuesday going forward, including Tuesday, September 19.
Tuesday, September 12 Update: Rodgers didn’t make an appearance on Tuesday’s edition of the Pat McAfee Show. He was the hot topic of conversation throughout as the Jets look to evaluate their future to build upon their 1-0 start to the season. McAfee added toward the end of the broadcast, “We have no idea what happens to Aaron Rodgers Tuesdays.” He pointed out that, at the moment, that isn’t the focal point of the quarterback’s situation.
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers will not be taking the field for the rest of the 2023 NFL season after suffering a torn Achilles early in Week 1 against the Buffalo Bills. Rodgers’ debut with the Jets lasted four plays, and now his future with the franchise is in doubt amid reports he was planning to retire last year.
Another Rodgers appearance which now could be in doubt is his supposed weekly time slot on Pat McAfee’s show every Tuesday. Rodgers appeared on the show before the season and said he would be there every week, and has usually been able to say whatever he wants on that show with no pushback from the hosts. McAfee was, of course, heavily invested in Rodgers being successful with the Jets so the Tuesday appearances would hold more value, but now we’ll see if they’ll be a thing at all.
My guess is Rodgers will continue to appear on the show to comment on the Jets and remain in the headlines. He does seem to enjoy the appearances for a number of reasons, and he now needs something to do since his season is over. We’ll find out at noon E.T. Tuesday.
