NFL Week Two Concludes Tonight
9/18/2023
NFL Week Two concludes tonight with a Monday Night doubleheader. The New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers meet in an NFC South showdown in Charlotte. Top draft pick Bryce Young searches for his first career win, while Derek Carr and the Saints look to stay unbeaten. Elsewhere, the Steelers are set to host the Cleveland Browns for an AFC North clash in Pittsburgh. Kenny Pickett will look to get back on track after throwing two interceptions in Week One, though he'll have to face a Browns defense that held the Cincinnati Bengals to just three points in the season opener.
Aaron Rodgers has a shot at returning this season. That's according to ESPN, who reports it's "not out of the question" the star quarterback of the New York Jets could suit up for Gang Green before the season ends. The 10-time Pro Bowler tore his Achilles just four snaps into his Jets debut. Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers tore his Achilles in 2021 and came back in five months, which was faster than any other professional athlete who suffered the same injury. If Rodgers follows a similar timeline, he would have an opportunity to play in this season's Super Bowl in Las Vegas.
