Rodgers (knee) practiced fully Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers was limited Wednesday, though head coach Robert Saleh indicated that he was "not concerned" about the quarterback's Week 5 availability. With a full practice under his belt, Rodgers is set to start Sunday's game against the Vikings while throwing to a WR corps currently led by Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard and Mike Williams. Meanwhile, the Jets are reportedly high on the wish list of star pass catcher Davante Adams, in terms of his preferred trade fits.

Rodgers (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, but head coach Robert Saleh said he's "not concerned" about the quarterback's availability Sunday against Minnesota, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The prior expectation was that Rodgers would be a full practice participant, but some limitations to start the week shouldn't threaten his availability for the game in London this Sunday. He's been getting treatment for a swollen knee after mentioning that both of his legs hurt during Sunday's 10-9 loss to Denver.

Rodgers (knee) is slated to practice fully Wednesday, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Connor Hughes of SNY.tv, Rodgers has been getting treatment as he contends with some knee swelling coming out of last Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Broncos. However, the quarterback's looming full practice participation sets the stage for him to be available this Sunday against the Vikings, with head coach Robert Saleh telling Rich Cimini of ESPN.com that he is not concerned about Rodgers' Week 5 availability.

Rodgers (leg) said Tuesday on the Pat McAfee Show that his knee feels swollen in the aftermath of Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Broncos, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers said he's "feeling a little banged up" and his "knee is a little swollen" following a Week 4 loss in wet conditions. The veteran quarterback was sacked five times by Denver and could be seen moving gingerly in the second half. Though Rodgers said after the contest that both his legs were hurt, Jets head coach Robert Saleh downplayed any serious concerns. Wednesday's first official injury report of Week 5 will reveal more about Rodgers' health heading into a road matchup against the Vikings' intimidating defense this Sunday, but there aren't any indications that the 40-year-old is dealing with anything that would keep him sidelined.

Rodgers completed 24 of 42 passes for 255 yards, without a touchdown or interception, in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Broncos. He added five rushing attempts for 26 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers racked up 59 of his 81 first-half passing yards in the two-minute drill to help the Jets take a 6-0 lead into the locker room. The Jets' first field goal was set up by a 34-yard pass interference penalty drawn on a Rodgers throw to Allen Lazard, which accounted for the only first-quarter first down for either team on a rainy afternoon at MetLife Stadium. New York's next first down didn't come until a 14-yard run by Rodgers after the halfway point of the second quarter. Both offenses moved the ball better after halftime, but Rodgers failed to lead a touchdown drive, and a missed Greg Zuerlein 50-yard field-goal attempt in the final minute of the fourth quarter dipped the Jets' record to 2-2 heading into a Week 5 London matchup against the Vikings at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Rodgers took five sacks and was moving gingerly in the second half. The veteran quarterback said after the game that both his legs are bothering him, per Connor Hughes of SportsNet New York, but coach Robert Saleh said Rodgers will be fine moving forward.

Rodgers completed 27 of 35 passes for 281 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Jets' 24-3 win over the Patriots on Thursday night. He also rushed three times for 18 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers connected with Allen Lazard and Garrett Wilson for touchdown passes of 10 and two yards, respectively, on his way to his best game as a Jet yet. Rodgers' passing yardage total was his highest since Week 9 of the 2022 season, when he threw for 291 yards against the Lions as a member of the Packers. The four-time NFL MVP recorded completions to eight pass catchers overall, and he appears to clearly be shaking off the last of the rust he accumulated in 2023 as he preps for a Week 4 home matchup against the Broncos on Sunday, Sept. 29.

Rodgers completed 18 of 30 passes for 176 yards and two touchdowns while rushing twice for one yard in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers relied on his running backs, throwing a touchdown pass apiece to Breece Hall (26 yards) and Braelon Allen (12 yards) while also watching Allen run in a game-winning 20-yard touchdown with less than five minutes remaining. The veteran quarterback's stats don't jump off the page, but Rodgers did enough to get the Jets in the win column heading into Thursday's home opener against the Patriots. Rodgers has yet to reach 200 passing yards in a game with the Jets.

Rodgers completed 13 of 21 passes for 167 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Monday's 32-19 loss to the 49ers. He also rushed once for minus-1 yard.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers had just 64 passing yards in the first half, 62 of which came on a 12-play, 70-yard touchdown drive on the Jets' third possession, which was capped by a three-yard Breece Hall touchdown run. The veteran quarterback was picked off on a tipped ball on the Jets' first drive of the second half, but Rodgers bounced back with a 36-yard touchdown pass to Allen Lazard on a free play on the following drive. New York couldn't get any closer, though, and Tyrod Taylor mopped up with a touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter after the game got out of reach. Overall, Rodgers gave the Jets two vintage drives and looked like a 40-year-old quarterback coming off an Achilles tear the rest of the game. Perhaps he'll sustain a higher level of play longer once he settles in, and Rodgers should benefit from facing the Titans in Week 2 rather than a vaunted 49ers defense coming off a Super Bowl appearance.

Rodgers didn't look hindered by his surgically repaired Achilles in training camp and will have no limitations in Monday's regular-season opener against the 49ers, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers' first season with the Jets disastrously came to an end after just four plays due to an Achilles tear, but he has worked his way back to full health and is ready to go one year later. Rodgers had a heavier than usual workload in training camp to help shake off the rust, but it won't be possible to fully judge his readiness to return to action until the 40-year-old quarterback steps on the field in a game situation Monday.

Rodgers and other starters aren't in line to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Giants, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, given previous reports that Rodgers wouldn't play this preseason. His first game appearance since suffering an Achilles' tear will come Week 1 at San Francisco on Monday Night Football, against a defense led by DE Nick Bosa, LB Fred Warner and CB Charvarius Ward. The Niners may start off without two of their better defensive players from last year, as LB Dre Greenlaw (Achilles) and S Talanoa Hufanga (ACL) are still on the PUP list heading into the final week of August.
