Jets QB Aaron Rodgers pushed back on head coachs practice decision

It may have gone against quarterback Aaron Rodgers's wishes, but head coach Robert Saleh decided it had to be done.The were in Florham Park for a joint practice on Thursday, but weather was rainy and the Mickey Mantle Jersey footing was le s than ideal. With the 40-year-old Rodgers coming off a torn Achilles, the risk of potential injury on a slick field outweighed the reward of practice reps against a non-conference foe. Apparently, however, the four-time NFL MVP wanted to be in uniform with his teammates instead of on the sideline in a rain jacket."He Paul O'Neill Jersey pushed back, he wanted to go," said Saleh. "In the grand scheme of things, we're trying to think forward thinking with regards to Week 1, and we've got a long Tyler Austin Jersey way for that. We'll have other opportunities coming up with Carolina and the Giants."The Jets have joint practices scheduled with the and the over the next two weeks. Rodgers will likely see reps in one or both of those se sions, considering he practiced against the Panthers last summer."If it Don Mattingly Jersey was clean outside, he would've practiced today," said Saleh. "Call it overprotection, but it was just the decision I made."Saleh offered insight into his thought proce s that led Wade Boggs Jersey to ."He's taken every rep in practice. I felt like it was just unnece sary. Heightened environment, unfamiliar foes in terms of taking care of one another - I just didn't want to expose him to it," said Saleh.More New York Jets News:
