Aaron Rodgers gives brutally honest take on playing preseason games

LATROBE, Pa. — This story initially appeared on SteelersNow.com

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers revealed after Tuesday’s practice that no firm decision has been made about whether he’ll play on Thursday night, and doesn’t seem to have a strong opinion one way or the other.

“It’s preseason. It’s not real football. If I play, great. If I don’t great,” Rodgers said. “Preseason’s a lot different. Teams don’t run anything anymore, they just really don’t.

Asked if he sees any benefit personally from playing in the preseason, he says he does not.
