Aaron Rodgers Fractures Wrist; Steelers Work Out Backup Quarterbacks

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has suffered a fractured wrist, though coach Mike Tomlin has not ruled out the possibility of him playing on Sunday against the Bears. In preparation for Rodgers' potential absence, the Steelers worked out quarterbacks Jason Bean and Tanner Mordecai on Tuesday, but neither was signed. Either player would serve as a third-string option if Rodgers cannot play. The Steelers currently have no quarterbacks on their practice squad. If Rodgers is placed on injured reserve due to his injury, it would create a longer-term need for another quarterback in addition to Mason Rudolph and Will Howard. Bean, undrafted in 2024 from Kansas, spent time with the Colts last year, while Mordecai, also undrafted in 2024, finished his college career at Wisconsin and has spent time with the 49ers.
