Aaron Rodgers injury update: Steelers QB slams helmet rules; ‘I pulled a Joe Biden’
Aaron Rodgers injury: The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback sparked concerns after hurting his foot during Tuesday's practice session.
Aaron Rodgers has sparked injury concerns among Pittsburgh Steelers fans, but it seems like all is good now. During the last day of training camp, on Tuesday, at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, the 41-year-old faced issues after his left foot/ankle was stepped on by offensive tackle Troy Fautanu.
As Rodgers was visibly in pain, the medical team attended to him. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin was also seen applying an ice pack to the four-time MVP's leg. The quarterback, however, returned to practice and finished his session.
“It was nothing of any significance,” Tomlin said. “He finished his work and didn’t miss a rep.”

Aaron Rodgers rips NFL's helmet rules
Meanwhile, Rodgers went after the NFL's new helmet rules. He has been wearing the Schutt Air XP Pro Q11 LTD helmet for years now. His model did not meet the league's updated safety standards, and it was banned.
Aaron Rodgers has now switched to the Schutt Air XP Pro VTD II. He is not happy.

‘Pulled a Joe Biden’
{{/usCountry}}Rodgers admitted he felt out of place during Pittsburgh's preseason opener vs the Jacksonville Jaguars.
“One of the weird things is I'm 21 years in the league so I'm over there (asking myself), 'Who do I know on Jacksonville?' ... I was kind of looking around doing the Joe Biden ... and then joined up with Cam Heyward and TJ Watt,” he said.
