Rodgers made his first preseason appearance with the Jets on Saturday, completing five of his eight pass attempts for 47 yards and a touchdown in an exhibition win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers made his first preseason appearance since 2018 in order to officially debut with the Jets following 17 seasons with the Packers. The 39-year-old was on the field for the first two offensive drives before ending his brief outing with a touchdown pass to Garrett Wilson. Fantasy managers are hoping for that scoring connection between the new teammates to repeat often this upcoming season. Rodgers will make his first regular-season start with New York against Buffalo on Sept. 11.

Rodgers will play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Giants, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers will make his long awaited Jets debut next Saturday, with Zach Wilson having started the previous three exhibition matchups. Costello cites an unnamed source, so the team has yet to officially announced Rodgers as next weekend's starters, but coach Robert Saleh has already alluded to the veteran making a cameo on numerous occasions. The 39-year-old signal-caller likely will handle only a handful of snaps versus the Giants in preparation for his first full start, a difficult Week 1 matchup against the division rival Bills.

Coach Robert Saleh noted earlier this week that if Rodgers plays during the preseason, it would be for "a quick tuneup" in the Jets' exhibition finale on Saturday, Aug. 26 versus the Giants, Randy Lange of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
With the Jets playing it safe with the veteran QB, Zach Wilson is in line to draw the start in Thursday's preseason opener against the Browns and quite possibly the team's subsequent exhibition tilts. Assuming Rodgers is limited to a cameo appearance in the preseason, his first full contest with the Jets will occur in Week 1 against the Bills.

As Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Browns approaches, Rodgers noted that he "wouldn't mind playing in the preseason," while suggesting that seeing action in the Jets' exhibition finale is a possibility, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Considering that, it's safe to assume that Rodgers won't be taking any snaps Thursday, and it doesn't sound like he'll play on Aug. 12 against the Panthers either. In any case, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site relays that Zach Wilson is in line to draw the start in the team's preseason opener against Cleveland.

Rodgers has agreed to a re-worked deal with the Jets, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The report notes that the QB is essentially taking a significant pay cut to help out the Jets. Specifically, $33.715 million is set to be trimmed from the $108.715 million he was still owed on his prior deal. Per Cimini, Rodgers' new contract is a two-year, fully guaranteed $75 million pact, and given the terms of the agreement, the chances that the team's marquee trade acquisition sticks around for more than one year appear to have increased.

Rodgers (calf) participated in 11-on-11 drills Thursday, Jori Epstein of Yahoo Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
A calf injury limited him in May, but Rodgers was more active during June practices and now is participating at the start of training camp. WR Mecole Hardman (groin) and OT Mekhi Becton (knee) also are healthy and participating, while RB Breece Hall (knee), WR Randall Cobb (ankle) and TE C.J. Uzomah (leg) start camp on the PUP list. Rodgers has a nice group of targets even with those three sidelined, throwing to Hardman, TE Tyler Conklin and WRs Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard and Corey Davis.

Rodgers (calf) participated in the red-zone and two-minute portions of Friday's 11-on-11 session, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rodgers, who strained his calf at the beginning of OTAs, had been cleared for everything but 11-on-11 drills earlier in the week. He sat out the beginning of full-team drills Friday, allowing Zach Wilson to take the reins, but the veteran quarterback worked his way into the mix during the final parts of the session and should be fully healthy for training camp. Rodgers attended all of the Jets OTAs, but he's now heading back to California and is planning to invite the Jets' receivers to the West Coast for some offseason workouts, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Rodgers (calf) won't participate in 11-on-11 drills Tuesday, but the veteran quarterback is cleared to do everything else, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Jets continue to monitor a minor calf strain that Rodgers suffered at the beginning of OTAs, but there hasn't been any indication it'll impact the quarterback's availability for training camp. Don't be surprised if Rodgers takes it easy for the remainder of New York's OTAs.

Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Rodgers (calf) will be a limited participant at Wednesday's OTAs session, but the team is hopeful that the quarterback will practice fully Friday, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Saleh said that Rodgers, who suffered a strained calf last week, is "fine," per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. The Jets don't appear worried about the status of the veteran quarterback, which reinforces the belief that he's simply dealing with a minor injury. Saleh said Rodgers will "for sure" be back in full next week, according to Cimini.
