Aaron Rodgers supports rookie Max Iheanachor for Steelers offensive line

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers expressed confidence in rookie tackle Max Iheanachor as the team finalizes its offensive line ahead of the regular season. Iheanachor, a first-round selection from Arizona State, returned to practice in late August after missing time due to an upper-body injury sustained on August 6. Despite the rookie's limited football experience, which began in 2021, Rodgers stated he is not concerned about Iheanachor potentially starting at right tackle. The competition for the starting position remains ongoing as the team prepares for its first game. Following the trade of Broderick Jones to the Dallas Cowboys, the Steelers have included Iheanachor, Dylan Cook, Spencer Anderson, Troy Fautanu, and Gennings Dunker on the active 53-man roster. Coaching staff monitored Iheanachor's return to practice to ensure the rookie regained his previous form.
