The quarterback took to the field again a year after he suffered an Achilles tendon injury.
AARON RODGERS MADE an unhappy return to NFL play on Monday, ending up on the losing side as the New York Jets were comfortably beaten 32-19 by the San Francisco 49ers in Santa Clara.
Despite the defeat, Rodgers was simply happy to be back on the field after last year’s injury that left many wondering whether he would ever play again. A 51-yard Jake Moody field goal cut the Jets lead to one point at 7-6, before San Francisco forced a New York punt on their next possession after the visitors failed to advance a yard.
The 49ers kept the scoreboard ticking over in the second half, adding a touchdown through Jordan Mason to make it 23-7 with the first drive of the third quarter.
