Aaron Rodgers is adjusting to life with the Pittsburgh Steelers, including finding a new helmet. The NFL banned his preferred helmet for safety reasons, and he’s not thrilled with the current one. Rodgers, the league’s oldest player, is still searching for a comfortable fit. Rodgers praised the team’s backup quarterbacks after a recent win over Jacksonville. He also aims to connect with new teammates, often chatting with them during practice. Rodgers believes in leading by serving and wants to build strong relationships with the team.

Aaron Rodgers won’t make his Steelers debut in Pittsburgh just yet. Coach Mike Tomlin says Rodgers and other top starters will sit out the preseason opener against Jacksonville. Tomlin believes their experience means they don’t need as much preseason action. Rodgers, who joined the Steelers in June, was open to playing but Tomlin feels it’s unnecessary for now. The first-team offense struggled early in training camp but has improved. Rookie quarterback Will Howard is out with a hand injury. The Steelers signed Logan Woodside, a backup with ties to Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, to take some of the reps while Howard recovers.

Mason Rudolph says he’s focused on being the best quarterback he can for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and not the club’s pursuit of four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers. Rudolph returned to Pittsburgh on a two-year deal in March. At the moment, he is also the most experienced quarterback on the roster. That would change if Rodgers signs. Rudolph says he’s learned during his career that there’s always noise surrounding a team and that he can only control what he can control.
