Aaron Rodgers has revealed a vague timeline for when he hopes to return, hinting Tuesday that he could be back on the field for the New York Jets in six weeks.

"It'll be a few fortnights," Rodgers said during his weekly spot on "The Pat McAfee Show."

The quarterback is eight weeks removed from surgery to repair a torn Achilles.

During the postgame handshakes between the Jets and Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night, Rodgers told Derwin James that he intends to play in "a few weeks." His comment was caught on camera, and the video went viral.

"Obviously, that was said with a little tongue-in-cheek there," Rodgers said. "It'd be nice to be able to be back in a couple of weeks. That's probably not anywhere near a realistic timeline."
