Steelers’ Aaron Rodgers Sustains Small Left-Wrist Fracture, Pushing to Play vs. Bears

Medical tests on Monday will determine if he can safely grip the ball and handle snaps with his non-throwing hand.

Overview

  • - X-rays taken at Acrisure Stadium showed a small fracture in Rodgers’ left wrist, with additional imaging scheduled to assess severity and timeline.
  • - NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Rodgers wants to play in Week 12 and is roughly 50-50 to start, contingent on grip strength and risk of aggravation.
  • - Rodgers exited late in the first half against the Bengals; Mason Rudolph finished a 34-12 win by going 12-of-16 for 127 yards and a touchdown.
  • - If Rodgers cannot go in Chicago, Rudolph would be in line to start after his effective relief outing, according to multiple reports.
  • - Pittsburgh is 6-4 and leading the AFC North, heightening the importance of the quarterback decision for the road game at Soldier Field.
