Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin reports that quarterback Aaron Rodgers, among other veterans, will not play in Saturday's preseason opener against the hosting Jacksonville Jaguars. With rookie signal-caller Will Howard (hand) battling a hand issue, fellow QBs Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson are expected to handle the bulk of the reps for the team. However, it's worth mentioning that Howard has yet to be ruled out, per Mark Kaboly of 93.7 The Fan Pittsburgh. Tomlin has noted that he's "comfortable" with what he's seen from his new quarterback, but also remarked that next week "may be different". Rodgers figures to get some playing time in before the start of the regular season, and that could come as soon as next Saturday when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers come to town.

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) has reportedly looked impressive early in training camp. The assumption was that Diggs would be eased into activities after suffering a torn ACL in Week 8 of last season. Despite that, Diggs has looked good with quick and efficient movements and an ability to make plays on his surgically-repaired knee. The expectation was that Diggs would be limited to begin the season, but maybe he'll be ready to go by Week 1. Fantasy managers will have to stay tuned for more updates on his status as camp goes on.
