Aaron Rodgers has played through a number of injuries this season, and the New York Jets star plans to do so again in Week 17.
Jets head coach Jeff Ulbrich told reporters on Tuesday that Rodgers has been battling a knee injury. Ulbrich said he is unsure if Rodgers will be able to play in Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills. Rodgers delivered a much different message a short while later.
During his Tuesday press conference, Rodgers was asked for an update on his status with the knee injury. He described the injury as “a little MCL” and said he has dealt with much worse. Rodgers added that he “lucked out of any major ‘stretchage’ with the MCL.”
