Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 22:20:23 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — Aaron Rodgers, of the New York Jets, tore his Achilles tendon during a nationally televised game on Monday."His foot on the turf was not able to give way, and on that extra extension, the Achilles had nowhere to go," said Dr. Keyvan Ganz, a podiatrist of foot and ankle surgery.For younger folks playing high-contact sports, Ganz said, you see a similar type of injury."Tendonitis, inflammation of the tendon, more so than actual tears in the kids," Ganz said. Failing to obey Colorado’s new roundabout law could cost you $70 These injuries happen when the Achilles tendon on the back of the leg is overextended. You can have a partial — or, in Rodgers' case, total — rupture of the tendon.Recovery can vary depending on the injury. Ganz said it's no less than three months before you can even start rehab, whether for an NFL athlete or a high school football player."Typically, it's going to be in a walking boot with a little bit of a heel lift to take some of that tension off...
