Overview
- Coach Mike Tomlin confirmed Rodgers has a fracture in his left, non-throwing wrist but said further testing showed surgery is not needed.
- Rodgers will not practice Wednesday, with his availability described as day-to-day and a clearer read expected after Friday’s session.
- The quarterback is pushing to face the Bears, with multiple reports characterizing his chances to play as roughly 50-50 based on grip and safety.
- Clearance hinges on secure bracing, pain tolerance and functional ability to handle snaps and operate the offense.
- Mason Rudolph and rookie Will Howard are taking first-team reps, and Rudolph would start if needed after a 12-of-16, 127-yard, one-touchdown relief outing against the Bengals.
