“Rodgers is expected to attend voluntary offseason practice sessions, which begin Monday”
DISPUTED
The claim states Rodgers is expected to attend voluntary practices starting Monday. However, a web search result explicitly states 'Aaron Rodgers was not in attendance' and notes that without a decision on his future (at that time), he could not be expected to be there. This directly contradicts the claim of his expected attendance.

“brings him back to Pittsburgh for a second season”
CORROBORATED
Multiple sources confirm this is a return. One web search result explicitly states 'Aaron Rodgers helped lead the Steelers to the playoffs last season' and another mentions 'Rodgers admitted that the 2025 NFL season was likely his last... that’s why we just did a one-year deal', implying he played the previous season (2024) for them.

“reunites him with his longtime Packers head coach — and current Steelers bench boss — Mike McCarthy”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
Wikipedia explicitly identifies Mike McCarthy as the head coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers and notes his previous tenure with the Green Bay Packers. This is further corroborated by web search results regarding the Steelers hiring McCarthy to replace Mike Tomlin.
