New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers took to Instagram to share an emotional post.
It is his first public statement since the devastating season-ending Achilles injury he suffered on Monday night.
What Rodgers Wrote
“Thank you to every person that has reached out, called, texted, DM’d, connected through a friend, etc. It has meant a ton to me, and I’ll try and get back to all of you soon. I’m completely heartbroken and moving through all of the emotions, but deeply touched and humbled by the support and love. 💔 Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I begin the healing process today.
The night is darkest before the dawn. And I shall rise yet again.
Proud of my guys, 1-0”

Over 365,000 people liked the post, and the number will undoubtedly rise.
Rodgers has been on many minds and hearts after going down in the first series of Monday night’s game against the Buffalo Bills.
The season-ending Achilles injury is a tough blow for the Jets team, but Coach Robert Saleh is rallying the team around quarterback Zach Wilson.

Robert Saleh on how important it is for Aaron Rodgers to stay connected with the team:
