Following the Jets loss last night during 'Monday Night Football', Aaron Rodgers gave a timeline as to when fans can see him back on the field -- and it's sooner than expected!

Rodgers has already been walking around without crutches for a few weeks now, and he was even spotted throwing the football around with his teammates during pre-game warm-ups. Due to this speedy and remarkable recovery, fans are hoping to see him play this season again, and although we are already in week 10 of the season, Rodgers did say he plans to be back in "a few weeks."

Below, you will hear the interaction between Rodgers and Chargers’ safety Derwin James, as shared by NFL reporter Adam Schefter.

Aaron Rodgers already made it known that he plans to play for the New York Jets again as just days after his surgery in September, he said “I think what I’d like to say is, give me the doubts. Give me the timetables. Give me all the things that you think can, should or will happen because all I need is that one little extra percent of inspiration. That’s all I need.”

“So give me your doubts, give me your prognostications and then watch what I do,” Rodgers added.

And it seems that the New York Jets quarterback is doing just that! NFL fans hope to see Rodgers stay true to his word, with his possible return in "a few weeks," per the NFL player himself.

Just days after Rodgers underwent surgery, Jets head coach Robert Saleh spoke out stating that he hopes Aaron Rodgers will still make appearances around the club to help mentor and coach quarterback Zach Wilson, who has taken over the starting position. “I think it’s essential,” the coach said at the time.

And Rodgers has been doing just that — showing up at the Jets games and helping coach Zach Wilson.

Saleh added, “I think it’s important for him. Mental health and healing, I think that’s very important. But his presence, his words… As I said, he’s as much a football coach as a player, and just having his presence, thoughts, words, and leadership, I think anyone would want that.”
