Steelers' Aaron Rodgers Receives Injury Update After Apparent Fracture
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffered a significant injury during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Following the collision, he was taken into the medical tent and ruled out for the remainder of the game, with backup Mason Rudolph taking over starting duties.
Further tests have revealed that Rodgers has a small fracture in his wrist, which is described as a non-long-term issue. The injury will require further examination through additional scans. According to reports from Tom Pelissero, the Steelers' quarterback will undergo more tests on Monday to determine the severity of the fracture and its impact on his playing time.
While it's uncertain how severe the fracture is, sources indicate that Rodgers won't be sidelined for an extended period. However, he may need to wear a brace to continue playing, which could limit his involvement in the team's games.
Despite Rodgers' injury, the Steelers managed to secure a 34-12 win against the Bengals. The team now faces three critical matchups against the Chicago Bears, Buffalo Bills, and Baltimore Ravens, with their lead in the AFC North hanging by a thread.
The impact of Rodgers' absence will be felt as Mason Rudolph stepped up to throw 127 yards and one touchdown in relief. However, if Rodgers were to miss significant time, it would be a substantial blow to the team's prospects.
More tests are set to be conducted on Rodgers, but for now, it appears that he has narrowly avoided a more serious injury. The fracture may not keep him sidelined for long, but further evaluation is necessary before making any definitive conclusions about his playing status.
