The Pittsburgh Steelers remain tight-lipped on quarterback Aaron Rodgers' status for Sunday's highly anticipated matchup against the Chicago Bears, casting uncertainty over his participation in what could be his final game at Soldier Field.
With a small fracture in his non-throwing wrist, Rodgers was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday, prompting his designation as questionable. Despite expressing confidence that he can play while wearing a brace, which has been used to stabilize the injury during training sessions.
The Steelers' decision not to provide any further updates has raised eyebrows, with teams typically being required to disclose such information if a player does not travel for a game. The lack of transparency raises questions about Rodgers' overall health and whether he can withstand the physical demands of facing the Bears.
This game holds significant personal importance for Rodgers, who is widely believed to be retiring from football following the 2023 season. He has spoken candidly about his desire to end his playing career on a high note and has already hinted that Sunday's game could be his swan song at Soldier Field, where he has struggled against the Bears since joining the Green Bay Packers in 2008.
In their head-to-head history, Rodgers has enjoyed considerable success against the Bears, boasting an impressive record of 25-5, including playoff victories. His statistics in these games have been nothing short of remarkable, with 64 touchdown passes and just 12 interceptions – a passer rating of 107.3 that showcases his elite level of performance.
While this season has seen Rodgers throw more interceptions and fewer yards than in previous years, he remains one of the most efficient quarterbacks in the league, boasting a 66.4 completion percentage and a 97.7 passer rating.

he's been vague about it before, so i wouldn't be surprised if they're just tryna keep it under wraps lol 
maybe he's actually fine and just wanna make a statement by playing through the pain? 
idk, but one thing's for sure - if he does play on sunday, it's gonna be EPIC 
, but at the same time, it's like, what's going on with the steelers not giving us any updates? shouldn't they be straight up telling us if he can or can't play? 
. The Steelers not giving any updates on his wrist injury is super weird, you know? I mean, teams usually have to give some kinda info if they don't think he's good to go for the game. This is like, a big deal for Rodgers too - this could be it for him, and he wants to go out on top. He's been killing it against the Bears throughout his career, so I'm curious to see how this one plays out 
. But at the same time, you gotta wonder if his health is gonna hold up under all that pressure. Can he still put up those kind of numbers with an injury? Only time will tell, I guess 
i mean i know it's been a while since he's played with that wrist injury but still can't they give us some sort of update? 
. But for real, can we please get some more info about his health? 
i mean i get it he's tryna retire on a high note but a lil transparency would be nice 
teams usually give us an update on player injuries before the game, not just keep it under wraps 
idk i'm just tryna find some peace of mind here
