Pittsburgh Steelers veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers underwent tests on Monday that confirmed he will not need surgery on his left fractured wrist.
Rodgers left the Steelers' 34-12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday after suffering the injury. Before his exit, he completed 9 of 15 passes for 116 passing yards, threw a touchdown, and was sacked for an 11-yard loss.
Backup quarterback Mason Rudolph entered the game just after halftime, and completed 12 of 16 passes for 127 passing yards and threw a touchdown.
The four-time league MVP has led Pittsburgh to a 6-4 record through Week 11, with postseason hopes in his first season with the Steelers. He has thrown for 1,969 passing yards and 19 touchdowns, while tossing seven interceptions.
Per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Rodgers is pushing to play Sunday when the Steelers travel to Chicago to take on the Bears; however, he must be medically cleared before moving forward. His status will be monitored closely throughout the week.
