The Pittsburgh Steelers will open up their preseason schedule with a matchup against the Green Bay Packers at Acrisure Stadium on Thursday night.
This matchup pits Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy and veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers against their former NFL. franchise, where they won a Super Bowl title together in 2011.
When asked about the plan for Rodgers on Tuesday, McCarthy said they're still discussing whether or not the 42-year-old signal caller will play on Thursday night.

"Definitely, it comes down to my decision, but we've been talking about playing or not playing since he signed," McCarthy said, via the team's official website.

Rodgers has yet to miss a single training camp practice as he gears up for his 22nd NFL season.
"It's outstanding for the football team, because there's a level of competitiveness that goes with having veteran quarterbacks who go every single day," McCarthy added. "He sets the standard for that practice. That 2-minute drill is different when he's in there. All those things, the cadence, the challenge at the line of scrimmage, all those factors come into play."
Thursday night's preseason matchup between the Packers and Steelers will kickoff at 7 p.m. ET.
