The Pittsburgh Steelers opened the 2025 campaign against the New York Jets. The game was ironically between two teams who\u2019d swapped quarterbacks this offseason, with former Jet Aaron Rodgers starting for Pittsburgh, and former Steeler Justin Fields taking the ball for New York.<\/p>\n

Rodgers and the Steelers got the last laugh, winning the game 34-32. However, Pittsburgh\u2019s offense, and offensive line in particular, struggled at times, but now Aaron Rodgers is saying that its due to a back issue he was dealing with, confirming Steelers fans\u2019 fear that the veteran\u2019s body isn\u2019t suited to hold up over the course of a grueling NFL season.<\/p>\n

\u201cAaron Rodgers said his back was tight on Sunday, which kept him from moving how he typically moves. He said he ran into 1-2 sacks. \u2018I might be old, but I still feel like I can move around pretty good, and I wasn\u2019t moving the way I usually like to move,’\u201d reported Brooke Pryor on Wednesday.<\/a><\/p>\n

One Steelers legend has already voiced his concern<\/a> with Rodgers\u2019 ability to stay healthy behind this line.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very encouraged by the way Aaron played. My concern is going to be, moving forward, can Aaron take a beating like that every week? Not at that age. If that doesn\u2019t improve, we\u2019re not gonna have a quarterback very long, and it\u2019s gonna be a rough season,\u201d Ben Roethlisberger said.<\/p>\n

It\u2019ll be interesting to see how long Rodgers can sustain this level of play if he can\u2019t keep his back healthy behind what is expected to be a shaky offensive line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Pittsburgh Steelers opened the 2025 campaign against the New York Jets.
