Ben Roethlisberger Disagrees With Steelers' Preseason Plan for Aaron RodgersThe veteran quarterback last played in the preseason in 2023, his first snaps with the New York Jets in a season that ultimately ended with a torn Achilles in his first game. Veterans don't usually play in August, but the Steelers will take a different approach this time. This plan, however, has a few critics, and one of them is a Steelers legend. Ben Roethlisberger, who won two Super Bowls with the Steelers and lost one against Rodgers' Packers, disagrees with McCarthy's plan for his quarterback. That's not a surprise, given Mike Tomlin, the former Steelers coach, usually rests his veterans in August.
