Here are the latest news updates and possible return date for Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers…

We know Aaron Rodgers has been ahead of schedule in his recovery from an Achilles injury suffered in Week 1, and now we have his target for a return to the field.
The star quarterback told NBC’s Melissa Stark this week that he’s hoping to be back with the team in mid-December for a potential playoff push.
“I know it sounds insane, but if you do a good surgery and have a good patient, it makes this possible,” Rodgers told Stark.
If he is able to pull it the miraculous return off as planned, that would put Rodgers back under center just over three months after suffering the injury.

The NFL trade deadline came and went, and the Jets didn’t make a move for a quarterback for the stretch run. Does that mean Gang Green is expecting Aaron Rodgers to return from his Achilles injury sooner than expected?
“I’m not going to put words into Aaron’s mouth. We’re excited to see him progress through his rehab. We’re taking everything day by day,” Jets GM Joe Douglas said Tuesday after the 4 p.m. trade deadline. “Certainly we’ll all be excited when he’s back in the fold, just as a person and the leader that he is. I’m not a doctor so I can’t go into the specifics of the rehab, but we’re expecting him to be back.”
Douglas was asked a follow-up on his “we’re expecting him back” comment, and the GM clarified saying, “[We’re expecting him back] with the team. I have no timeline. I’m not an expert, I’m not a doctor it’s just good having him around. When he’s around the team, it’s good to have him in the building.”
“I’m not putting anything out there like that,” Douglas added. “That’s not my place…I don’t have any breaking news for you like that.”
Douglas was also asked whether he’s surprised by Rodgers’ progress and seeing him throw the ball on the field pre-game (just as he did this Sunday before the Giants game) less than two months after his Week 1…
