Ben Roethlisberger has been in the same shoes as Aaron Rodgers when it comes to playing—or not—through injuries. Because of that, he can provide a rare perspective on the subject matter. This past Sunday, Rodgers played for the Steelers despite multiple fractures in his non-throwing wrist. While it clearly limited him in some aspects, did he hurt the team by playing?
“It’s a good question, and I think that’s the question that probably a lot of people have asked”, Roethlisberger said about Rodgers and his decision to play, commenting on the subject on his Footbahlin podcast.
