Rodgers avoids surgery Steelers await medical clearance | JQJO

Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers won’t need surgery after the injury that knocked him out of Sunday’s game, according to NFL Network, though the team has yet to issue a definitive diagnosis. The Steelers first labeled it a left hand issue before coach Mike Tomlin said it was his left wrist. Rodgers must be medically cleared to face the Bears on Sunday, but the early news appears good. If he can’t play, Mason Rudolph would start after playing well enough in the second half against the Bengals for Pittsburgh to build on its lead.
