As Aaron Rodgers navigates his 20th NFL season, he’s dealt with plenty of bumps and bruises throughout the New York Jets’ disappointing 2–6 start to the season.

To combat those minor injuries, Rodgers is trying a new formula recommended by punter Thomas Morstead, 38, who is in the middle of his 18th league campaign.

(And no, this time it’s not about mushrooms or another retreat of darkness.)

“T-Mo gave me a little ‘fountain of youth’ that he said he’s been taking for a while,” Rodgers he told reporters on Tuesday. “All legal, of course. . . . He took cayenne pepper and water. So he gave me some before the game. I felt pretty good. I kind of gassed him because (his suggestion is the reason) I felt so good that I’m not sure how much of a factor it plays.”

Rodgers admitted he didn’t feel great in the Jets’ 25-22 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday. He threw for 233 yards and two touchdowns on 17-of-28 passing, but didn’t do enough to beat the previously one-win Patriots.

After the game, Patriots defensive tackle Davon Godchaux — who weighs 330 pounds — said Rodgers “doesn’t look the same” and he didn’t look mobile on the field in week 8.

Rodgers, though, insists he’s feeling better two days after the Jets’ latest loss.

“My schedule is basically I’m here when I’m here and I’m doing rehab,” Rodgers said. “And I go home and do more rehab. I’m kind of taking care of myself around the clock…I expect to do a lot more this week. I will be in the center and I hope to return faster-speed-than-Godchaux.”

Rodgers and the Jets return to the gridiron Thursday for a primetime tilt against the Houston Texans. Bring the cayenne pepper and water.
