Aaron Rodgers Says Wrist Still Not Fully Healed as Steelers Manage His Return

He went through Wednesday’s practice without a brace, with pain persisting on certain movements.

Overview

  • A month after fracturing his left, non-throwing wrist in Week 11 against the Bengals, Rodgers says the injury remains short of 100 percent.
  • Rodgers described ongoing “happy battles” with Pittsburgh’s training staff over when to shed protection, reflecting a cautious approach by the team.
  • He has progressed from a cast to a small pad and can now operate under center, expanding the Steelers’ play-calling.
  • Over his last two games he has thrown for 508 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions, contributing to two straight wins.
  • It is uncertain whether he will wear any padding against the Lions in Week 16 after practicing without protection on Wednesday.
