"The 41-year-old Rodgers, the NFL's oldest active player, will not need surgery on the wrist. He will not practice on Wednesday, and what happens after that will depend on how Rodgers adjusts to the brace he will wear and how it impacts his ability to operate normally. Tomlin doesn't expect pain tolerance to be an issue, though Rodgers will have to show he's able to protect himself."
"Rodgers injured his non-throwing wrist late in the first half of Pittsburgh's 32-14 victory over Cincinnati on Sunday. While Tomlin said Rodgers wanted to come back in, the four-time MVP remained in the locker room for evaluation while backup Mason Rudolph helped the AFC North-leading Steelers pull away to improve to 6-4. The 41-year-old Rodgers, the NFL's oldest active player, will not need surgery on the wrist."
"Rodgers has a long history with Chicago, dating to his highly successful run in Green Bay earlier in his career. He is 11-1 as a starter at Soldier Field and once famously proclaimed he owned one of the NFL's oldest franchises. Tomlin brushed aside the idea that Rodgers' dominance over the Bears will play a factor in whether he plays. Aaron always wants to play. Opponent has nothing to do with it, Tomlin said. It's his love affair with the game of football."
Aaron Rodgers suffered a fractured non-throwing left wrist late in the first half of Pittsburgh's 32-14 win over Cincinnati. He will not require surgery and will not practice Wednesday. Whether he plays Sunday at Soldier Field depends on how he adjusts to a brace and whether the brace allows him to operate normally and protect himself. Coach Mike Tomlin said pain tolerance likely will not be the issue and emphasized Rodgers' desire to play. Backup Mason Rudolph completed 12 of 16 passes for 127 yards and a touchdown and would start if Rodgers cannot go.
