FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is dealing with a hamstring injury on top of a knee issue but is expected to play Sunday at New England. The 40-year-old Rodgers was listed as limited for the team's walkthrough Wednesday. Ulbrich said the injuries, which also include a recent ankle issue, have "maybe" compromised Rodgers' ability to scramble, but Rodgers said his throwing hasn't been affected. Offensive lineman Xavier Newman was placed on injured reserve with a neck injury after being carted off the field in Pittsburgh. Ulbrich said Newman is doing "well" but will need a few weeks to recover.
