Aaron Rodgers ‘back from Egypt’ in first sign of Jets QB since skipping minicamp
NY Post
Aaron Rodgers is officially back on U.S. soil.
Rodgers, the 40-year-old quarterback of the Jets, missed the team’s mandatory minicamp earlier this month with what head coach Robert Saleh deemed an “unexcused absence,” and rumors were that the quarterback was overseas somewhere.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who was Rodgers’ former teammate on the Packers, joined “The Herd” on FS1 on Thursday and told host Jason McIntyre that he was working out with the quarterback in the Los Angeles area on Wednesday.
“Me and Aaron have been great friends since I had been in Green Bay. I hit him up, told him I was coming out to LA, and said, ‘Let’s run some routes,'” Valdes-Scantling said.
“So we got it in. Went out to some high school and ran some routes together. We’re good. It was good.”
McIntyre, a longtime Jets fan, responded, “All the New York media can stand down. Aaron Rodgers is back from Egypt! It’s not a secret anymore!”

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
