匹兹堡钢人队四分卫Aaron Rodgers就其职业生涯终点给出了明确答案。在今年五月签署一年合同后，Rodgers表示关于2026赛季是否为其最后一个赛季"没有任何商量余地"，并称"就这样了"[1]。
钢人队在新主教练Mike McCarthy的带领下迎来了变化。McCarthy是钢人队19年来首位新任主教练，他在训练营中推行了一系列改革措施[1]。根据新的安排，团队会议将在上午7:30开始，练习最晚在下午1:30结束[1]。McCarthy计划减少对抗训练的频率，以此降低球员受伤风险[1]。此外，角卫Joey Porter Jr.因合同谈判进展缓慢被列入伤病名单[1]。上赛季，钢人队赢得了AFC North冠军[1]。
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers announced that the 2026 season will definitively mark the end of his playing career, stating there is "zero debate" on the matter [1]. Following his May signing of a one-year contract, Rodgers emphasized "this is it" regarding his future with the team [1].
The Steelers are entering a transformative period under new head coach Mike McCarthy, the franchise's first new head coach in 19 years [1]. McCarthy has implemented several significant changes to team operations during the opening of training camp in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Team meetings now begin at 7:30 a.m., with practice sessions concluding by 1:30 p.m. [1]. The coaching staff has also planned to reduce contact drills as a measure to minimize injury risk [1].
In roster developments, cornerback Joey Porter Jr. has been placed on the injury list amid ongoing contract negotiations that have progressed slowly [1]. The Steelers arrive at training camp off the back of an AFC North divisional championship from the previous season [1].
