The Pittsburgh Steelers improved to 6-4 on the season in a dominant 34-12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, all but ending their division rival’s playoff hopes in the process. The win didn’t come without a cost, though.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers left the game at the end of the first half with an injury to his left arm. He was grabbing the arm and flexing his wrist after being taken to the ground by a pair of Bengals defenders. He didn’t return to the game, and Mason Rudolph led the Steelers the rest
of the way. Rodgers will undergo testing on Monday, but ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Rodgers is believed to have a slight break in the wrist.
“The initial concern is that Aaron Rodgers has, in the words of one source, ‘a slight break’[in] 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 reports on X.
You had better believe Rodgers doesn’t want to miss the Steelers’ Week 12 matchup with the Bears in Chicago, as his history against that franchise is self-explanatory after spending nearly two decades with the Green Bay Packers. If he can’t go, though, Rudolph will be the man to lead the Steelers next Sunday.
