If Aaron Rodgers wants to play again this season and receives medical clearance, Robert Saleh says he'll take over as quarterback of the New York Jets again.

"Aaron's a big boy, a grown man, and no one's going to know Aaron's body like Aaron knows his body," Saleh said. "And if he feels after all the doctors clear him -- I'm sure there's a million of them, I have no idea -- but if Aaron says he wants to play, he's going to play."

Saleh's comment came one day after Rodgers, attempting to pull off an unprecedented return from a ruptured Achilles, reiterated his desire to play. He's targeting mid-December, which would be about three months removed from surgery.

"We've got to be in the mix, and I've got to be healthy, and I definitely still want to come back," Rodgers said on "The Pat McAfee Show."
