Summary
Mike McCarthy said Pittsburgh still has not decided whether Aaron Rodgers or other preferred starters will play Thursday against Green Bay, even though any starter would get about two series.
Rodgers sent mixed signals: McCarthy said the quarterback wants to face his former team, but Rodgers told reporters, "If I do, great. If not, great."
The 42-year-old quarterback also downplayed the value of appearing, calling preseason "not real football" and saying he sees no benefit for himself in playing.
Green Bay has already said its starters are expected to play a drive or two, leaving the Steelers' opener centered on whether their first unit will include Rodgers at all.
