New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been cleared to return to practice, 11 weeks after surgery to repair a torn Achilles. The Jets have 21 days to decide whether to activate Rodgers from injured reserve, with the deadline being four days before their game against the Washington Commanders. While Rodgers is cleared for functional football activity, he is not yet cleared for contact. His decision to return will be based on his health and the team's standing in the playoff race.
