NFL Network reported that an MRI confirmed an Achilles tear, and Rogers plans to have surgery next week.

"It's a blow," Rivera said Wednesday. "The young man really progressed well for us last year."

He was undrafted in 2022 after playing five seasons of college football at UNLV (2017-19) and Ohio (2020-21).
