Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers backs NFL on holding game in Paris despite recent unrest

Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said Friday he’s confident the NFL will make the right security decisions for Sunday’s game in Paris despite recent civil unrest in the city. Speaking at a downtown hotel shortly after the team arrived for the matchup at Stade de France against the New Orleans Saints, Rodgers said, “If it was unsafe, then I’m sure we wouldn’t be here.” A morning practice was canceled due to wind and light rain; it was called off 90 minutes before the scheduled 11 a.m. session. The U.S. State Department issued a security alert for Oct. 24 protests and cautioned Americans on Oct. 25. T.J. Watt is dealing with a calf issue, listed as limited in practice.
