Within the week, Rodgers had surgery and began his recovery process.
Last month, hetold PEOPLEthat his rehabilitation process has “been a grind.”
“Frustration, sadness — a lot of sadness,” Rodgers continued before noting how appreciative he is of all the people who have “showed up” for him, especially after his surgery.

Rodgers also expressed how much the support has meant to him from fans who have suffered the same injury. “I’ve heard from people all over the country, all over the world, who tore their Achilles, sending support because I think we’re like a tight-knit family.”
Rodgers has been a regular at Metlife stadium along with his team throughout the healing process “just to feel a little bit more normal,” which he said did a lot for his mental state.
“I felt like I was part of the team,” he shares. “And when you’re away from it and you’re injured most days you don’t feel that.”
