why is aaron rodgers not playing today

Aaron Rodgers is not playing today because Steelers coach Mike Tomlin decided to keep him out of the preseason finale. Rodgers is healthy, but the team is opting to protect him from preseason action given his age and vast experience. Tomlin expressed satisfaction with Rodgers' current condition and said he would have him play if there were any concerns. Rodgers' regular season debut with the Steelers will be in Week 1 against the New York Jets.
