NFL Network's Tom Pelissero had a positive update on quarterback Aaron Rodgers's playing status for the 2026 NFL season.
An Aaron Rodgers offseason that started as rather dull has become much more drama-filled in recent days. Pundits for weeks suggested the quarterback was likely to return to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2026 only to see CBS Sports’ Aditi Kinkhabwala throw cold water on those suggestions.
However, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero had a new Rodgers update this weekend much closer to the original reports this offseason.
“The odds, as I said on Super Bowl Sunday, they are rising that Aaron Rodgers comes back,” Pelissero told Rich Eisen, via Steelers Depot. “I don’t see it being any place else.
“If he’s going to play, I believe it will be for the Pittsburgh Steelers.”
