After a celebrated tenure with Green Bay,
Rodgers' 2023 Jets debut ended after just four snaps with a torn
left Achilles.
Saleh confirmed that Rodgers is on track to participate in
"phase three" of OTAs, a four-week period when teams can hold 10
practices with non-contact, 11-on-11 work.
"Once phase three hits, we're not anticipating any restrictions
from what we can and can't do with him," Saleh told reporters
Friday at the start of a two-day rookie minicamp.
Rodgers participated in practices on a limited basis during the
final month of last season.
"The guy can still sling it," Saleh said, per ESPN. "Obviously,
he's still working through his rehab, but there are no issues on
the trajectory on which he's going."
Rodgers passed for 59,055 yards, 475 touchdowns and 105
interceptions in 230 games (223 starts) for the Packers from
2005-22, compiling a record of 147-75-1. He made 10 Pro Bowls
and led Green Bay to a Super Bowl XLV victory against the
Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Jets' quarterback room also includes veteran Tyrod Taylor
and rookie Jordan Travis, drafted in the fifth round last month
out of Florida State.
