Aaron Rodgers injury update: Adam Schefter reveals ‘initial concern’ surrounding Steelers QB

Aaron Rodgers exited in the second quarter of the divisional win for the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Now, he, per reporting since this evening, could potentially be out for an extent of time as this season comes down the stretch. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Rodgers suffered an apparent “slight break” of the wrist of his left hand. He’ll now undergo testing tomorrow with the results of that to determine how long he could now be out for Pittsburgh, with Schefter since adding that it’s “shaping up to be Steelers QB Mason Rudolph vs. the Bears next week”. “The initial concern is that Aaron Rodgers has, in the words of one source, “a slight break” his left wrist, but the Steelers quarterback will undergo further testing Monday to determine the full extent of the injury and how long he’ll be sidelined, per league sources,” Schefter tweeted out on Sunday evening. Those at the NFL Network have since reported further on the injury for Rodgers. Tom Pelissero noted that what they’ve determined at this point as “a small fracture” is believed to be “nothing long term”, while Ian Rapoport added that Rodgers has supposedly said himself to people that he doesn’t expect to be out for long. “Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers will undergo more tests Monday on his left wrist, but the initial belief is it’s nothing long term, sources tell me and @RapSheet,” tweeted out Pelissero. “X-rays at the stadium showed a small fracture. They won’t know more until further scans.” “Aaron Rodgers has indicated to people close to him that he’ll be back soon. Initial testing would support that, but more coming,” Rapoport then wrote in a follow-up post. Before his exit, Rodgers was 9-15 (60%) for 116 yards and a touchdown, which brings him to, on the season, a completion rate of 66.4% for 196.9 passing yards per game with 19 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Rudolph then checked in, making his third appearance of this season as their backup still, for him to finish the game, being 12-16 (75%) for 127 yards and another touchdown to help complete a 34-12 win at home over the Cincinnati Bengals this afternoon. That victory, ending a skid over the last four where they went 1-3, moved Pittsburgh to 6-4 overall, which allowed them to hold on to their lead in the AFC North as they sit a game ahead of the Baltimore Ravens (5-5). The Steelers will know more tomorrow or so as far as the status of their starting quarterback. That said, Rodgers himself is seemingly hoping not to be out for too long, although the results of those tests could at least put his availability in question for their next game when Pittsburgh goes on the road in Week 12 to play one of his oldest foes in the Chicago Bears.
