Overview
- A small fracture in Rodgers’ left, non-throwing wrist does not require surgery, according to Mike Tomlin.
- Rodgers skipped Wednesday’s practice for rehab and said he aims to participate in some capacity on Thursday.
- He and the medical staff are working on protective bracing, with functionality and safety prioritized over pain tolerance.
- Coaches may wait until late in the week — potentially Friday, Saturday or even game time — before deciding his availability.
- Mason Rudolph took first-team reps and would start if Rodgers is not cleared, as Pittsburgh guards a narrow AFC North lead heading to Chicago, where Rodgers has a long track record of success.
