Aaron Rodgers injury update: Steelers QB suffers scare during training camp practice

Ultimately, Rodgers did not miss any more snaps after returning to practice with the first team. However, he did throw an interception on his last rep and looked to be moving “a step slower” after the injury, according to Pryor.

Rodgers, 41, is getting ready to enter his 21st NFL season and his first with the Steelers. He signed with the team this offseason on a one-year deal and his expected to be the starter.

Rodgers brings many accolades with him, including four MVP awards and a Super Bowl victory with the Green Bay Packers in 2011, which ironically came against the Steelers. Now the team is hoping he can help them get back to the big game in 2025.

Injuries are often a concern with a quarterback his age, though, and he does have a recent history with him. Rodgers suffered a torn Achilles in the 2023 season opener but bounced back last season to play in all 17 games with the New York Jets.

The Steelers will hope that trend continues, and it at least appears that Tuesday’s calf injury was a minor one. Behind Rodgers, the Steelers have quarterbacks Mason Rudolph, Will Howard and Skylar Thompson.

Mike Tomlin provides update after Aaron Rodgers injury scare

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin offered an update on the injury to Rodgers during a post-practice media availability. Tomlin said there is “nothing of significance” regarding the injury and that Rodgers returned to practice without missing any reps.

The update from Tomlin is certainly good news as it appears Rodgers won’t be held back at all after the injury scare. The Steelers are counting on the 41-year-old veteran to be their starter this season after he signed a one-year deal.

The Steelers will hope for another season of full health out of the QB with no setbacks. They’ll kick off the regular season with a matchup against Rodgers’ old team, the New York Jets, on Sept. 7.
