Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is willing but nowhere near eager to play in Thursday’s preseason opener against the Green Bay Packers and protege-turned-replacement Jordan Love.
Preseason Games
Rodgers referred to preseason games as “not real football.” He hasn’t played a preseason snap since 2023 and in his 22nd NFL season on a second tour in McCarthy’s offensive scheme, Rodgers won’t be knocking down his coach’s door to get a few extra snaps.
Rodgers said there is no added incentive to take the field against the Packers and Love in the first of two consecutive home preseason games. “If I do, great. If not, great,” Rodgers said.
