Jets reveal Aaron Rodgers decision for preseason finale vs. Giants
NY Post
Aaron Rodgers’ first live snap after Achilles surgery won’t be until Sept. 9.
The Jets will not play Rodgers or any of their other starters Saturday against the Giants, head coach Robert Saleh revealed before the final practice of training camp.
Backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor also will sit — after he had words for his former team after making a big play during a joint practice against the Giants — as Andrew Peasley will start at quarterback and Adrian Martinez will play in relief.
Saleh always was leaning in this direction, though Rodgers had expressed an interest in playing during the preseason.
He lasted only four regular-season snaps last year before tearing his Achilles.
The first-team offense took about 800 reps together during training camp, Saleh said.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
