Mike Greenberg's wife posts ESPN star's reaction to Aaron Rodgers injury
Nobody was more excited for the debut of Aaron Rodgers than ESPN’s Mike Greenberg. The longtime personality has been a New York Jets fan his entire life and now has a two-time MVP leading the franchise. There was no better scenario than the Week 1 game against the Buffalo Bills taking place on Monday Night Football.
But as we all know, Rodgers lasted less than a drive before going down injured. He has since been ruled out of the game and likely for an extended period of time. The highs of seeing Rodgers in a Jets jersey came crashing incredibly fast.
No matter what happened, Greenberg’s wife was going to document his emotions via Twitter all night. Well, she got his reaction to Rodgers going down injured, being nothing less than purely shocked. A picture she tweeted out captures the feeling pretty well.
Greenberg is the host of Get Up! on ESPN, where the Jets have become a common topic. Former head coach Rex Ryan — who led the franchise to back-to-back AFC Championship games — is a frequent guest on the show too. Rodgers has been getting a lot of screen time on the World Wide Leader and rightfully so. He’s one of the biggest stories of the year, injury or not injury.
Unfortunately for Jets fans, Zach Wilson will have to do for now. He has replaced Rodgers for the time being and will be looking to get a win against the Bills. Depending on the long-term status of Rodgers’ injury, he could be out there for quite a few snaps this season.

Aaron Rodgers brought high expectations to New York
Whenever you have Aaron Rodgers on your team, your Super Bowl window instantly opens. Even in the waning years in Green Bay, the Packers were considered contenders in the NFC with Rodgers running the offense. So when the Jets traded for him, expectations instantly shot through the roof.
The AFC East is a good division, top to bottom. New York finished in last place in 2022 with a 7-10 record but there were positive signs under head coach Robert Saleh. The defense was playing well while skill position players performed despite poor quarterback play. Inserting Rodgers into the equation was thought to be the answer.
Everyone in New York will now be holding their breath, hoping for the best involving Rodgers. None more so than ESPN’s Mike Greenberg.
