Aaron Rodgers will not play for the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Chicago Bears because the quarterback has not recovered from a fracture in his left wrist. Therefore, after several discussions with the medical staff, the veteran has been ruled out at Soldier Field.
Doctors had already warned Rodgers about the risk involved in coming back so early. Thatās why they didnāt allow him to play the second half in the win over the Bengals and also didnāt give him the green light for the matchup with Chicago.
The big question is when the Super Bowl champion quarterback will return, considering that to avoid a displaced fracture, he would need at least three weeks of complete rest.
