The Pittsburgh Steelers and Indianapolis Colts are playing a crucial AFC matchup on Sunday, but quarterback Aaron Rodgers may have suffered an injury before the contest even began.
During CBS’ “The NFL Today” pregame show, the network showed Rodgers in warmups dealing with what may be a hand injury. It’s tough to tell exactly how Rodgers first felt the issue, but it came at a bad time, right before a big game.
Here’s the latest on Rodgers’ status this week.
