Aaron Rodgers’ stint with the New York Jets could still extend beyond this season — despite plenty of losses and disappointments. The star quarterback, who’ll turn 41 on Dec. 2, previously said he’d like to play a few more years. And he insisted Wednesday that the Jets’ 3-7 start during a tumultuous season has not changed that stance. “Not really,” …

The Vikings listed quarterback Sam Darnold as limited at Wednesday’s practice with a right hand injury.

Plenty of coaches spent time around three-time NFL MVP Tom Brady across his 20 seasons with the New England Patriots, but few were around the future Hall of Fame quarterback more than Josh McDaniels, who was the team’s offensive coordinator in 11 of Brady’s 20 seasons with the team.
