Mike Tomlin confirmed that he was able to speak with Aaron Rodgers after the quarterback suffered a left wrist injury during the Week 11 game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cincinnati Bengals.
“I was (able to talk with Rodgers after his injury). He was excited about the win. I just talked to him, but that’s all we talked about. We didn’t talk about his injury. We talked about the significance of the win.”
According to a report by Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport, the former Super Bowl champion has a small fracture but won’t be out for long. Adam Schefter noted that he could miss the game against the Bears but return in two weeks to face the Bills.
What is Aaron Rodgers’ injury?
Aaron Rodgers suffered a left wrist injury during the first half of the game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cincinnati Bengals. The quarterback expressed discomfort in his hand before halftime and did not return to the field for the second half.
The final diagnosis on the severity will be known this Monday, although the quarterback reportedly told people close to him that he will be back soon and that the situation is not a season-ending injury.
The Steelers have a 6-4 record with a one-game lead over the Ravens in the AFC North. Their remaining games this season are against the Bears, Bills, Ravens, Dolphins, Lions, Browns, and a rematch with John Harbaugh’s team in Week 18.
