On Wednesday, the New York Jets quarterback was asked about a report from Fox’s Jay Glazer that alleged Rodgers had been dealing with significant health issues this season. Rodgers wasted no time mocking Glazer’s reporting.
Glazer claimed Rodgers had been battling injuries far more painful than most people realized, which reportedly earned him the respect of his teammates. According to the report, when Jets owner Woody Johnson considered benching the four-time NFL MVP, the players in the locker room opposed the idea after seeing what Rodgers had endured.
The veteran NFL insider specifically stated that Rodgers had been dealing with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, an MCL sprain, and a high ankle sprain.
When Rodgers was informed of Glazer’s claims, he quickly fired back.
“Jay did it? Where is he getting his information?” Rodgers asked. “How do you know it’s a Grade 2 if there was never an MRI?”
“There was a hamstring at one point, there was a knee at one point, and I think you all saw the ankle in London,” Rodgers continued. “I don’t know what the grades were with all of them. Jay came in and gave a great speech this training camp. Other than that, he doesn’t know s–t about my body. And that’s the truth.”
