Aaron Rodgers season-ending Achilles injury in his debut with the New York Jets<\/u><\/a> on Monday night has prompted the NFLPA and several players to call on the league to move towards all-grass fields.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But one former quarterback who\u2019s familiar with the artificial turf at MetLife Stadium, seemingly disagrees.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning<\/u><\/a> made the argument for keeping artificial turf fields during an appearance on the “Front Office Sports Today” podcast this week, saying that for MetLife especially, it makes sense.\u00a0<\/p>\n

AARON RODGERS TAKES JAB AT KEITH OLBERMANN AFTER HE MOCKED QUARTERBACK’S INJURY: ‘GET YOUR FIFTH BOOSTER’<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“I think the turf gives you a reliable field all the time, especially when you get these stadiums \u2013 you know, the Giants played in that same stadium on [Sunday] night in a big rainstorm,” he explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“If you play that game, and you have to play another game on Monday night on the same field, it would be ripped up and muddy and wet and all messed up anyways, so I think it eliminates that.”<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately, I don\u2019t think the turf had a factor in that injury last night,” Manning added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rodgers ruptured his Achilles<\/u><\/a> in the Jets’ opening series. He was eventually carted off the field before an MRI the following morning confirmed the team\u2019s worst fears \u2013 his season was over.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The four-time league MVP underwent a successful surgery on Wednesday and just two days later, Rodgers said that “anything\u2019s possible” when it comes to his recovery and rehab.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Give me the doubts. Give me the timetables. Give me all the things that you think can, should or would happen, because all I need is that one extra little percent of inspiration. That\u2019s all I need,” he said on “The Pat McAfee Show.” <\/p>\n

“Give me your doubts, give me your prognostications, and then watch what I do.”<\/p>\n

The Jets have fully backed third-year quarterback Zach Wilson,<\/u><\/a> who led them to an overtime victory over the Buffalo Bills in Week 1. Head coach Robert Saleh said this week that they will continue to explore their options at the quarterback position, but reaffirmed that Wilson is their first choice.<\/p>\n

Manning said Friday that he believes Wilson is their “best option.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s one thing to get injured, and it’s [another] thing to rupture an Achilles where you got to miss a whole year. So, I feel for the Jets and everything, but I was happy for Zach Wilson to get in there and have a comeback victory.<\/p>\n

He continued, “He\u2019s had a tough time here in New York, and I know what that\u2019s like having a tough time in New York as a young quarterback. So, I was happy that he could bounce back and have a big game and get them that win.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Jets next big challenge will be Sunday afternoon when they take on Dak Prescott<\/u><\/a> and the Dallas Cowboys, who are coming off a 40-0 win over the Giants in Week 1.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
