Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will face his most recent former team in 29 days. Will he be ready for Week 1 at the Jets?
If he is, it apparently won’t be a result of playing in the preseason.
In a conversation with Bob Labriola of the team’s official website, coach Mike Tomlin was reminded that some NFL coaches don’t play their starting quarterback during the preseason. Would Tomlin consider doing that?
“ You might be looking at one in 2025 ,” Tomlin said. “Hey, [Aaron Rodgers] has been doing this for 21 years. His cumulative snap total and what’s required for him to be ready is different than others. And so if I’m not adaptable and open to adjustments relative to the needs of our guys, then I’m not doing my job. And so you might be looking at one of those coaches in 2025.”
