The star quarterback suffered a season-ending injury on the fourth snap of his New York Jets debut.

Aaron Rodgers is on the mend. The New York Jets quarterback said Thursday that he had undergone a successful surgery a day earlier to repair his ruptured Achilles’ tendon, posting a picture of himself in a hospital. “Surgery went great yesterday,” Rodgers said in his Instagram story. “Thank you for all the love and prayers and support. And thanks to the [goat emoji] Dr. ElAttrache and his staff for starting me on the road to recovery.” Rodgers suffered the season-ending injury in his fourth snap of his highly anticipated Jets debut Sunday, writing afterward that he was “completely heartbroken and moving through all of the emotions.”
