Steelers' Aaron Rodgers suffers injury, Mike Tomlin downplays incident

Aaron Rodgers’ training-camp leg scare for the Steelers shook nerves with a month to go before Week 1, but Mike Tomlin downplayed the incident as harmless and said Rodgers finished practice. Still, observers noted Rodgers moved slower and appeared to favor the right leg as images circulated online. The Steelers’ upcoming second preseason game against Tampa Bay highlights depth and roster decisions, though the real headline remains Rodgers’ status as Pittsburgh prepares for a Week 1 clash against his former Jets in New York.

With Rodgers’ health status in flux, fantasy managers must gauge the risk to Pittsburgh’s passing attack and any ripple effects on teammates. If Rodgers is limited or unavailable, Pittsburgh’s offense could pivot to contingency plans, while the Jets loom as a high-upside Week 1 opponent if Rodgers suits up. The storyline also casts a wider net on early-season betting lines and roster tweaks as camp unfolds and the Steelers monitor every update from the sideline and locker room.

With Rodgers' injury status, should fantasy managers stash a Steelers QB for Week 1?How will Rodgers’ health trajectory affect Week 1 betting lines for Steelers-Jets?If Rodgers sits, which Jets players gain Week 1 value and why?What is the betting angle if Rodgers is healthy for Week 1 against the Steelers?
