Aaron Rodgers talked about his left wrist injury ahead a crucial game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Buffalo Bills. The quarterback admitted he wasnāt ready to play last week against the Bears, but he hopes to get the chance to return to the field to face Josh Allen. āI wasnāt able to go last week. So, Iām hoping for a different outcome this week.ā
The veteran also mentioned what the biggest difference would be that could allow him to play this week. āTime. Time for healing.ā In addition, he sent a very clear message about whether or not he needs medical clearance to play. āNo. Iāve never had that understanding.ā
This means that the decision for Rodgers not to play at Soldier Field was entirely on Mike Tomlin. Therefore, with the season on the line, it is most likely that the head coach will choose to let Aaron return, even though that could risk a displaced fracture.
Will Aaron Rodgers be starting quarterback for Steelers against Bills?
It is still unknown whether Aaron Rodgers will be the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Buffalo Bills. However, the quarterback stated that having more recovery time could be the key this week.
āIāve had more days for the callus to form and more healing. Iāll see where Iām at come Friday. I prepared to start last week just like Iāll prepare to start this week. Thereās limitations with the cast for sure, but thatās for safety. Iām always wanting to play and thereās been very few times that an injury has been significant enough to keep me off the field. So, that was definitely disappointing. You know, also being in Chicago, but, it is what it is.ā
In a very important detail, this was Rodgersā response when asked if he was already ready to take snaps under center. A key situation for Tomlin to maybe let him play on Sunday. āNot today. Not today. Weāll see about later in the week.ā
