“I’m completely heartbroken and moving through all of the emotions,” the 39-year-old said, “but deeply touched and humbled by the support and love. 💔”
While Jets head coach Robert Saleh said earlier Wednesday that Rodgers hadn’t undergone surgery to fix his leg just yet … Rodgers wrote in his social media post that he’s beginning “the healing process today.”
“Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers,” he added.
As for his future plans … Rodgers certainly didn’t seem like a guy who’s ready to call it a career — saying, “The night is darkest before the dawn. And I shall rise yet again.”
He then praised NY for pulling off the win over Buffalo without him.
“Proud of my guys,” he wrote. “1-0 🛩️”
Several Jets players commented on the post … with Sauce Gardner writing that he did their secret handshake out at Jets practice “with the air today.”
