Aaron Rodgers was spotted wearing a wrist brace at Steelers practice on Thursday.
After not practicing Wednesday, Rodgers was listed as a limited participant with a couple of days to go before the Steelers take on his longtime NFC North nemesis, the Bears.
The Pittsburgh quarterback is reportedly pushing to play in Sunday’s road matchup in Chicago despite suffering a fracture in his non-throwing wrist.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said earlier this week that Rodgers taking the field this weekend depends on his “comfort” and “functionality,” which the quarterback echoed on Wednesday.
“It’d be a safety thing,” he said. “… Gotta get the OK and gotta feel like I can protect myself,” Rodgers said.
Rodgers reportedly took snaps in the shotgun on Thursday, but that isn’t the formation he’s worried about.
“I would say it’d be difficult to take a snap under center than catch one in the ‘gun and there’s been times in my career where we have adjusted and gone to some pistol sets if we need to, to still keep the spacing on the run distribution between the halfback and the quarterback, but the goal would be to take snaps from under center,” Rodgers said Wednesday.

The injury occurred late in the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the Bengals when Rodgers landed awkwardly on his wrist.
Coming out of the half, Rodgers was replaced by Mason Rudolph, who led a pair of scoring drives as the Steelers cruised to a 34-12 win.

Rudolph, who went 12-for-16 for 127 yards and a touchdown, is expected to start if Rodgers can’t go.
Sitting at 6-4, the Steelers are a game up on the 5-5 Ravens in the AFC North heading into Week 12.
