Aaron Rodgers said he doesn't like the helmet he has been using this year, saying that “it looks like a damn spacecraft.”
Latrobe, Pennsylvania – maybe Aaron Rodgers He has found the ideal team in the Pittsburgh Steelers, but still looks for the one that best suits his head.
The helmet used by the field marshal last season, the Schutt Air XP Pro Q11 LTD, is now prohibited by not complying with the new safety standards.
Therefore, Rodgers has been practicing with the Schutt Air XP Pro Vtd II, and does not like.
“I don't like it, no,” said the Mariscal de Campo Estrella on Tuesday. “I am trying to change. We are still in process. It seems like a damn spacecraft out there.
“We have to change it. The mask does not have the helmet left because it is old, obviously like me, but right now we are looking for the right helmet.”
In the mini -plant earlier this summer, Rodgers expressed his frustration with the change of helmet.
“I can't stand the helmet,” Rodgers said in June. “I have used a Schutt for 20 years and, for some reason, the security standard does not finally pass.”
Rodgers took a scare in the final practice of the Steelers camp in St. Vincent College this Tuesday afternoon, when he was stepped on by the rookie defensive liner Derrick Harmonwho rammed the offensive line Spencer Anderson Against the field marshal.
Rodgers moved away from the play and massaged the right calf, the opposite side to the tear of the left Achilles tendon he suffered in 2023. He also seemed to have scratches in the right spin. The team's athletic trainers placed a large ice bag in the right spin, which Rodgers took off after a few minutes. Then they bandaged the calf and returned to the training.
“They only stepped on it,” said coach Mike Tomlin. “It was nothing serious. He finished his job.”
While Rodgers is frustrated with his continuous problem with the helmet, the rookie seafood Will Howard Lidia with the frustration derived from a “strange accident” that caused the fracture of a finger in the hand of launching. Howard, who suffered the injury in an exchange between the center and the field marshal last week, said he initially thought that he had only hurt his finger and made two more repetitions in the team period. However, during the next individual period, he knew that something was very bad.
“I couldn't grab the ball and I thought: 'I think something is wrong here,” said Howard. “I didn't feel good. I usually tolerate pain quite well, but I couldn't literally grab the ball, so I knew something was wrong. So we came, we checked it and that is what it is. That is, we hope we can come back soon, but we'll see. I don't know, I still don't know.”
The selected sixth round said that it will not operate during recovery, but that it has been using an immobilizer on the annular fingers and little fingers of the hand of launching.
“It's horrible,” Howard admitted, who appeared as the third substitute field marshal in the standings, behind Rodgers and Mason Rudolphbefore your injury. “My whole being wants to be playing, and I'm sitting here without doing anything. It kills me, especially for something that seemed silly. It was just a strange accident, but things happen, and it's about how you respond and how you handle adversity.”
Howard described the injury as something “weekly to week” and said he does not know if he can participate again in any of the preseason parties.
“I don't know,” he said. “I really hope so. I had to wait to see how he recovered, and I know that I leave the word to the coach (Mike) Tomlin in almost everything. I keep taking it day by day, week by week, and doing everything possible to be ready and not have to prepare. So, if that opportunity occurs, I will be ready, and I just want to stay physical. I would love to have the opportunity to leave, and we will see what happens.
