Aaron Rodgers Set His Return Date

Author Chris Beasley

Aaron Rodgers has been one of the biggest story lines in the NFL over the last decade. Whether it’s winning MVP’s, getting deep into the playoffs, or his retirement Rodgers dominates headlines. This season it’s been for a different reason; his right Achilles tendon. Most fans and insiders thought the injury spelled the end of the season for Rodgers. But leave it to Aaron Rodgers to take a 9 month injury and come back in less than four months. It appears that Aaron Rodgers set his return date over the weekend. In a cryptic Instagram post Rodgers captioned a picture of a watch face with “A little more time…”. Did Aaron Rodgers set his return date in this post? There are some who think so. I’ll break it all down below, but here is the original post.

I am not the first person to come up with this theory, but it seems like something Aaron Rodgers would do. The date is set for the 28th and the second hand is sitting directly on the 12. Well the Jets play the Browns on 12/28 on Thursday Night Football. That could just be a coincidence though. But the hour hand is on the 10 with the minute hand on the 8. There will be 108 days between the original injury and December 28th. The same date the Jets face the Browns. I was skeptical at first. But this seems like something Aaron Rodgers would do thinking he is the smartest guy and nobody would pick up on it. If you need more, here is a video from last where he tells Derwin James he is a few weeks away from coming back.

  • NFC Standings

    Division leaders:

    Eagles: 8-1
    Lions: 6-2

    Saints: 5-4

    Wild Card race:

    Seahawks: 5-3

    Commanders: 4-5
    Falcons: 4-5
    Buccaneers: 3-5
    Packers: 3-5
    Rams: 3-6

    So, in the NFC, the Lions are the Eagles’ current biggest threat. The AFC is even tougher, though.

  • AFC Standings

    Division leaders:

    1. Kansas City (7-2)
    2. Baltimore (7-2)
    3. Jacksonville (6-2)
    4. Miami (6-3)

    Wild-Card race:

    5. Pittsburgh (5-3)
    6. Cleveland (5-3)
    7. Cincinnati (5-3)
    8. New York Jets (4-3)
    9. Buffalo (5-4)
    10. Houston (4-4)
    11. Indianapolis (4-5)
    12. Las Vegas (4-5)

    So, in the AFC, both Kansas City and Baltimore are threats to the Eagles. I think Baltimore is especially dangerous.
