US EditionSteelers QB Aaron Rodgers Misses Practice but Is Hopeful to Renew Acquaintances with the Bears
Aaron Rodgers will play with a fractured wrist stabilized by the Steelers, with a Friday decision pending; Pittsburgh aims for a rare win in Chicago, where they are 1-6 historically.
- Monday tests confirmed Aaron Rodgers, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback, won't need surgery for his fractured left wrist; he skipped Wednesday practice but could return Thursday, with final availability decided Friday.
- Aaron Rodgers landed awkwardly on his non-throwing hand while rolling to throw late in the first half of the Bengals game, causing the fracture.
- Coach Mike Tomlin emphasized that Mason Rudolph, Steelers backup quarterback, completed 12 of 16 passes for 127 yards and a touchdown, while team doctors require Rodgers to stabilize, brace, and tolerate pain before clearance.
- If Rodgers can't go, Mason Rudolph would start his first regular-season game since the Jan. 15, 2024 playoff loss, with a Steelers loss and Ravens win creating an AFC North tie.
- Rodgers' history of playing through injuries suggests why he is pushing to play, as he returned from a torn left Achilles and a broken right thumb; Pittsburgh Steelers are 1-6 in Chicago since 1960, and Rodgers could be only the second starter to win there.
