Posting on his Instagram story, the 38-year-old reposted a quote from Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson regarding a heartbreaking message that Rodgers told him at halftime.
"Damn man!! That hurt... Get well ASAP 8!," the NBA's all-time leading scorer said about the four-time NFL MVP's injury.
MRI results confirmed on Tuesday, September 12, that the 39-year-old suffered an Achilles tear, one of the worst injuries known in sports.
The Super Bowl XLV MVP went down during the game's first drive after being sacked by Bills linebacker Leonard Floyd.
"Not the way any of us wanted it to go, but we know the commitment you've made to this team will continue to impact us moving forward," the Jets said on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, when the extent of the injury was confirmed.
