Rodgers' Wrist Woes: To Play or Not to Play?
USA, PittsburghSun Nov 23 2025
The Pittsburgh Steelers are facing a tough choice this week. Their star quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, is eager to take the field against the Chicago Bears, even though he has a broken wrist. Rodgers, who is about to turn 42, is likely thinking about his future. This might be his last season. It could also be his final chance to play at Soldier Field, a place where he has made history.
Rodgers is willing to take the risk. He tried to return to the game last week after the injury. But the Steelers have to think about what's best for the team. If Rodgers can't play, Mason Rudolph will step in. Rudolph did a good job last week against the Bengals. The offense didn't skip a beat, and the team won.
But is Rudolph the better choice? If Rodgers' injury is serious, it might keep him out for a while. The Steelers have to weigh the risks. They have to decide if a healthy Rudolph is a better option than a hurt Rodgers.
It's a big decision. Rodgers is one of the best quarterbacks ever. If the Steelers sit him, it sends a message. But if they let him play and he gets hurt worse, that's a problem too. It's a tough call, but the Steelers have to make the right choice for the team.
