New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers stated that the team's position in the playoff race will be a factor in his decision to return this season. The Jets currently have a four-game losing streak and their playoff chances are less than 1%. Rodgers emphasized that his health and the team's viability as a contender will play a role in his return. He is close to getting back on the practice field and is aiming to return for the Dec. 24 game against the Washington Commanders.
