Jets QB Aaron Rodgers reveals he is planning to return to the NFL in the middle of DECEMBER… just three months after rupturing his Achilles 'I know it sounds insane'

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is eyeing a return to the field in 'mid-December,' according to NBC's Melissa Stark.

Rodgers has been out of action since tearing his Achillies tendon in Week 1 against the Buffalo Bills, only four plays into his Jets debut.

The Jets offense has struggled with backup QB Zach Wilson under center in Rodgers' place, but had still compiled a 4-4 record heading into Sunday night's game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

'I know it sounds insane but you do a good surgery, you have a good patient, it makes this possible,' said Rodgers.

Rodgers has progressed far enough in his recovery to have been running on a weight-treadmill and has been jogging at 50 percent of his body weight. His goal for the upcoming week is to increase that to 75 percent.
