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.

In our latest mock draft update, a huge run on quarterbacks leaves the Steelers without an option in the first round so they go with Cam Heyward's replacement instead.

Thursday’s game is all about the guys battling for roster spots, and this is their last opportunity to prove what they can do.
