Key Veterans To Sit Out Steelers Preseason Finale

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Aaron Rodgers’ first official snaps with the Pittsburgh Steelers will have to wait until Week 1. Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Rodgers, along with several other key players, won’t play against Carolina in Thursday’s preseason finale. Most of the healthy roster, including new additions like Jalen Ramsey and Darius Slay, could see action. Tomlin believes Rodgers has shown enough progress in training camp, so there’s no need to risk injury. This decision marks a change from Tomlin’s usual approach, as previous starters typically played in preseason games. Rodgers is the league’s oldest active player.
