The Jets hosted the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football<\/em> to cap off the first week of the NFL season.<\/p>\n

Rodgers went down with an apparent left ankle injury on the first possession of the game. Training staff took a look at him on the sidelines of MetLife Stadium before a medical cart whisked him away to the tunnel. A hobbled Rodgers limped to the locker room. X-rays were negative, but Rodgers was spotted in a walking boot.<\/p>\n

Rodgers\u00a0 underwent an MRI on Tuesday morning to confirm a ruptured Achilles tendon.<\/p>\n

Rodgers attempted one pass before his injury on the fourth offensive play of the game for the Jets. He ruptured his left Achilles tendon when Bills defensive end Leonard Floyd sacked him for a 10-yard loss.<\/p>\n
