Jets face Steelers without Aaron Rodgers in preseason matchup

The New York Jets will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2 of the NFL preseason on Friday evening. However, Jets fans will not see Aaron Rodgers play, as Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy confirmed he will not participate in the exhibition game. Instead, sophomore quarterback Will Howard will start for the Steelers, followed by rookie Drew Allar. Jets starting quarterback Geno Smith is still dealing with soreness and is expected to be replaced by rookie Cade Klubnik. The Jets previously faced Rodgers in a regular season game last year, where the Steelers secured a 34-32 victory.
