Aaron Rodgers, offensive consultant?
While he may still be recovering from a ruptured left Achilles tendon, the New York Jets quarterback has been a steady presence around the team and reportedly even offered suggestions to the team's coaching staff during New York's 20-14 upset victory Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.
According to the Athletic, Rodgers wore a headset during the game and was communicating with coaches as backup Zach Wilson led New York's offense. The Jets still struggled to move the ball, converting only two-of-11 third-down attempts, collecting just 244 total yards of offense (the Eagles gained 348) and recording 17 first downs, compared to Philadelphia's 24.
This came after Rodgers showed up to the stadium and walked into the Jets locker room without the aid of crutches, a little more than a month after he underwent surgery to repair the tendon. Rodgers was on the field during pre-game warmups, even casually flinging passes, a sign that he may be well ahead of the projected rehab for the injury.
"He wanted to be on the sidelines," Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Sunday in a news conference. "It's unbelievable. A lot of people that I have talked to − I won't name names but who have also had it − that everyone is in awe that he is even walking. For him to be on the sideline standing the entire time, he's a freakazoid."

Wilson completed 19-of-33 passes for 186 yards in the victory. He has shown some marginal improvements this season, by and large avoiding costly mistakes. Still, for New York to be consistently competitive in Rodgers' absence, it will need Wilson to take strides.
"I think he was mostly in there talking to the coaches," Wilson said of Rodgers after the game. "Obviously, my headset is just with (offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett), but it's always good having him around."
Rodgers, 39, was traded to the Jets in April after he spent 18 seasons with the Green Bay Packers, becoming the longest-tenured player in franchise history. Rodgers re-worked his deal to take a $35 million paycut in a two-year contract that runs through the 2024 season.
