If New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers gets his wish, he will be back on the practice field in two weeks - only three months removed from surgery on his left Achilles.

"I've said that I'd love to be trending towards practicing by my birthday," Rodgers said Tuesday during his weekly spot on the "Pat McAfee Show," confirming a FOX Sports report.

Rodgers turns 40 on Dec. 2. It wouldn't make sense to open his 21-day practice window on a Saturday, but Dec. 6 looms as a possibility.
