Aaron Rodgers’ regularly scheduled Tuesday appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” was pushed back a day shortly after the news broke of Robert Saleh being fired.
Rodgers is now scheduled to appear at 12:10 Wednesday on the ESPN show.
McAfee said the appearance was delayed partially because the Jets’ schedule is altered this week with them playing Monday night.
