Aaron Rodgers News
Monday, August 3, 11:16 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers could see action during the preseason, according to The Athletic. No decision has been announced, but it would mark a change from last year, when Rodgers sat out all three exhibition games before throwing four touchdown passes in Pittsburgh's Week 1 win over the New York Jets. The 42-year-old went on to complete 65.7% of his passes for 3,322 yards, 24 touchdowns, and seven interceptions across 16 starts as the Steelers won the AFC North. Rodgers returned on a one-year contract and is working with new head coach Mike McCarthy, who coached him for 13 seasons in Green Bay. Pittsburgh also has Mason Rudolph, Will Howard, and third-round rookie Drew Allar in its quarterback room, giving the team several passers who need preseason reps. The Steelers open their exhibition schedule against Green Bay on August 13. Rodgers' availability should become clearer as that game approaches.

Ty Simpson News
Saturday, August 1, 7:20 AM
Los Angeles Rams quarterbacks Ty Simpson and Stetson Bennett split reps evenly in training camp practice on Friday, according to Nate Atkins of The Athletic. With Rams QB1 Matthew Stafford resting on Friday, Atkins reports that Simpson had an "eventful day with some highs and lows." Los Angeles selected Simpson with the 13th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft after he threw for 3,567 yards and 28 touchdowns across 15 games in his final collegiate season at Alabama. As long as Stafford stays healthy in 2026, Simpson is highly unlikely to see the field for any significant stretch in his rookie season. However, given where they drafted him, it appears Los Angeles views Simpson as its quarterback of the future. Simpson's dynasty value could fluctuate significantly based on how he performs in training camp and the preseason.
