Aaron Rodgers pushing to play for Steelers as major injury update emerges
NY Post
Not even broken bones can stop Aaron Rodgers from wanting to “own” the Chicago Bears.
The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback underwent further tests this week that confirmed the fracture in his non-throwing wrist will not require surgery, head coach Mike Tomlin announced Tuesday afternoon.
“Really, it’s just about bracing and securing it for his comfort and safety. And then, it’s about how functional he is,” Tomlin told reporters.
The veteran field general is pushing to play in Sunday’s road matchup against the Bears — a team he dominated for 18 years as a member of the rival Packers — but “doctors must clear him and his status moving forward is TBD,” says NFL Insider Tom Pelissero.
Tomlin noted that Friday will be the “key day” in determining whether Rodgers will suit up in the Windy City.
“We’ll see where the week leads us and we’ll take it day by day,” Tomlin said.
