The New York Jets added Aaron Rodgers to their injury report on Wednesday, citing knee soreness after their Week 4 loss to the Denver Broncos. Rodgers mentioned that his knee was swollen and that he had taken some hard hits during the game. Speaking on *The Pat McAfee Show*, he described the soreness as a normal part of the season’s wear and tear but acknowledged he felt “a little banged up.”
Despite his limited participation in practice during the week, Rodgers was removed from the injury report by Friday, signaling that his condition had improved. However, this did not stop the Jets from making an unexpected roster move, possibly as a precautionary measure ahead of their next game.
On Saturday, the team elevated rookie quarterback Adrian Martinez from the practice squad for their upcoming Week 5 game against the Minnesota Vikings in London. This decision means that the Jets will carry three active quarterbacks for the first time this season, with Martinez now available as a backup to Rodgers and Tyrod Taylor.
The addition of Martinez may indicate the Jets’ desire to be cautious, given Rodgers’ recent knee issues. The Week 5 game, scheduled for Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. ET, will take place at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where the Jets will face the Vikings.
