With the clock ticking on a decision, Robert Saleh says Aaron Rodgers wants to play again for the New York Jets this season.

The coach refused to comment on whether or not the quarterback would actually take the field again.

"Aaron wants to play; let's not confuse that one," Saleh said. "That's why he's been working so hard to get back. His willingness to play, even if he's not 100%, is at the forefront of his mind. He wants to go, but ... until he's actually cleared, I'm not going to talk about it with anybody."

It seems unlikely that Rodgers, only 3 1/2 months removed from Achilles surgery, will see action over the final three games. 

Rodgers' 21-day practice window closes Wednesday, which means the Jets must activate him or leave him on injured reserve for the remainder of the season.
