Aaron Rodgers has finally returned from his 'unexcused' trip away after angering New York Jets officials by skipping the team's mandatory minicamp.
Rodgers,40,did not show for all three days of the Jets' minicamp earlier this month,with the Hall of Fame quarterback facing over $100,000 in fines after his absence was not approved by coach Robert Saleh.
Dailymail.com later revealed that the New York hierarchy had been left furious with the situation and were considering 'tightening his leash' for the foreseeable future.
However,it appears Rodgers is now back on US soil after heading away for a mystery event,which certain reports identified as an ayahuasca retreat.
Buffalo Bills receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling,who played with Rodgers in Green Bay,says he has been working out with his ex-Packers teammate in Los Angeles after he returned from a trip to Egypt.

Gardner,who's grown to be close with the quarterback,posted on X: 'Are y'all really making a big deal because a 15+ year HOF QB missed 2 days of practice after being with the team all throughout Phase 1,2 & 3 of OTA's?? GG's.'
Rodgers is gearing up for what he hopes will be his first full season as a Jets player after last year's injury nightmare.
Just four snaps into his debut against the Bills,the four-time MVP tore his Achilles tendon and missed the entirety of the campaign.
