INDIANAPOLIS – Week 1 of the new NFL season provided plenty of headlines, but none bigger than the injury to New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
The four-time league MVP tore his left Achilles tendon on the fourth play with his new team on Monday night. Zach Wilson, the team’s 2021 first-round pick, will be the Jets’ starting quarterback again when they visit Dallas on Sunday.
The meeting of unbeatens is “Big Game Bound’s” marquee matchup this week. Host Chris Hagan has the latest from New York, plus talks with Nexstar Silver Star Nation insider Mickey Spagnola about the Cowboys.
