What the odds say: Will Rodgers take another snap this season?

The rumblings that Aaron Rodgers could make a return in the 2023-24 regular season grow louder each week.

However, most of those rumblings are generated by Rodgers himself, who reportedly told the Jets he wants to start practicing on Dec. 2 and is eyeing a late-December return from his Achilles injury if the team is still in playoff contention.

That's a big if since the Jets are 4-6 and will turn to Tim Boyle as they take on the Dolphins on Black Friday.

Regardless, do you believe what Rodgers is selling?

Oddsmakers at theScore Bet are giving Rodgers +200 odds of playing another snap in the 2023-24 regular season - an implied probability of 33.3%.

Rodgers tore his Achilles in Week 1 of his highly anticipated debut with the Jets, and everyone, except Rodgers apparently, assumed his season was over. The average recovery time from an Achilles tear - if not career-ending - is between 10-12 months. At 39 and quickly closing in on his 40th birthday, Rodgers returning in four months would be somewhat of a miracle.

If you are someone who believes in miracles, a better spot to attack an improbable Rodgers return may be the Comeback Player of the Year market.

Rodgers is +2200 (bet $10, win $220) to win the award and will be far shorter if he takes a snap this season. Damar Hamlin is the deserving favorite at -140 but, despite plenty of injuries to the Bills' defense, isn't seeing a lot of playing time, which could sway voters toward a player who was more impactful to his team's success.

A Rodgers comeback could be viewed as one of the most important in-season returns ever, as the Jets seem to be a quarterback away from being serious Super Bowl contenders.
