Aaron Rodgers is embracing every facet of being a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and that includes being one of the main leaders of an otherwise young offensive unit. Rodgers recently issued a challenge to his offensive line after he watched fellow quarterback Skylar Thompson fall to the ground after being hit.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said after practice that the 41-year-old quarterback will not play in the preseason finale against the Panthers.

“I’m hopeful that we get an opportunity to play, particularly in the secondary,” he said.
