The Pittsburgh Steelers got good news with Aaron Rodgers’ wrist injury as Mike Tomlin confirmed Tuesday reports that he will not require surgery. But that doesn’t mean he is automatically cleared to play this Sunday against the Chicago Bears. He needs to show both the Pittsburgh coaching and medical staff a few things before being cleared.
Tomlin outlined the specific checklist they will work through to clear Rodgers.
“The variables are, stabilizing it and making sure that he’s safe. That he can protect himself and brace himself as he falls,” Tomlin said via the Steelers’ YouTube.
