Aaron Rodgers used a recent interview to open up about repairing his family relationships, but one part of his comments immediately stood out: he talked about one brother, not both.
Speaking Saturday on NFL Network with Kyle Brandt, Rodgers said the reconciliation took time and that marriage helped change his perspective. “There’s been a lot of conversation about it outside of my own conversation for so many years,” Rodgers said. He added, “You know, a big part of it was getting married and having those conversations with my wife that allowed me to kind of open up to the possibility of coming together.”
Rodgers said the process stretched over several years. He also described a recent trip to Nashville, Tennessee, where he spent time with his parents, his brother, his brother’s wife, and their two children.
“And it’s been really beautiful to reconnect with them. All of them,” Rodgers said.
“All of them. And I got to spend a week, a long weekend recently.
Those pictures are from in Nashville. My parents, my brother, and his sweet wife, and their incredible two kids.
I got to be an uncle. It’s just really - it’s really special.”
That wording is what drew attention. Rodgers has two brothers, Luke Rodgers and Jordan Rodgers, but his comments pointed to only one sibling. The brother he described as having a wife and two children appears to be Luke Rodgers, since Jordan Rodgers and his wife, JoJo Fletcher, have one child.
The omission didn’t go unnoticed, especially given the long-running strain between Aaron and Jordan Rodgers. Their family issues became public years ago when Jordan appeared on ABC’s “The Bachelorette,” where the rift was discussed on national television. Aaron later took issue with Jordan for speaking publicly about family matters, and the awkward empty chair that appeared on the show became one of the most talked-about images from that period.
Jordan has also spoken publicly about the relationship over the years, keeping the family tension in the spotlight.

Ravens Center Battle Just Became More Serious Than Fans Realized
The Ravens have a real center job up for grabs in 2026 training camp, and it is shaping up as one of the more meaningful battles on the offensive side of the ball. With Tyler Linderbaum out of the picture, Baltimore has turned the spot over to a group that includes veteran Ethan Pocic, Danny Pinter and Jovaughn Gwyn, with Nick Dawkins and Corey Bullock lurking as possible dark horses if the competition opens up.
Offensive line coach Dwayne Ledford has made it clear this is not the kind of decision that will be rushed early in camp. The Ravens want the full preseason picture before settling on a starter, which means every rep matters and every practice could shift the pecking order as the team tries to stabilize the middle of its line.

Ravens Camp Is Already Revealing Who Deserves A Bigger Role
The Ravens opened their second week of training camp with their first padded practice under new head coach Jesse Minter, and the early tone has already started to sort out who is making noise for a larger workload. The first week brought encouraging signs from a handful of players, with Trey Hendrickson, Mike Green, Ja'Kobi Lane and Keyon Martin standing out in a camp that has also offered a useful look at veterans working their way back into the mix.
There has been optimism, too, around several players returning from injury or offseason time away, including Nnamdi Madubuike and Rashod Bateman, as Baltimore tries to get a clearer picture of its roster before the real contact ramps up. For a team with expectations, these first padded sessions matter because they can turn early camp momentum into something more lasting, and they often reveal which names are starting to force their way into the conversation.

Ravens Tackle Depth Suddenly Carries More Weight Than Expected
The Ravens added a familiar veteran presence to their offensive line mix, signing tackle Kendall Lamm after bringing in several candidates for a look. Lamm is entering his 12th NFL season and has bounced around the league with stops in Houston, Miami, Cleveland and Tennessee, giving Baltimore a seasoned option as it keeps building out depth at a position that can go from routine to urgent in a hurry.
Baltimores search gained a new edge with Hakeem Adenijis sudden retirement, which opened the roster spot and sharpened the need for another capable body at tackle. Even with Lamm in place, the Ravens were still evaluating options, a sign they are treating the position as more than just a backup plan and trying to protect themselves against the kind of in-season attrition that can reshape an offensive line in a week.
