Former CFL all-star receiver Eric Rogers works out for New York Jets

Pass catcher Eric Rogers worked out for the New York Jets on Tuesday, per sources.

The former Stampeders receiver tore his ACL early in training camp with San Francisco in August 2016 and Rogers spent more than a year recovering and rehabbing. It was the first major injury he’s suffered in his pro career.

Rogers working out for NFL teams means he’s been cleared to return to football activities by Dr. James Andrews who performed the surgery.

The six-foot-four, 215-pounder made an impact during Calgary’s 2014 Grey Cup championship run and followed that up by leading the CFL in receiving yards (1,448) and touchdowns (10) in 2015. That drew interest from more than 20 NFL teams, including 16 who met or worked Rogers out.

With Rogers healthy expect more NFL interest to come in the 26-year-old.
