Mike Tomlin continued, “Functionality is a component of it…I don’t need it for my comfort, but I certainly need it for functionality, and functionality is a major component of whether or not he gets an opportunity this week…It’s about stabilizing it; it’s about making sure that he can manage the pain — that doesn’t appear to be an issue.”After Aaron Rodgers left the field as he sustained the injury on his left wrist, his game status has been questionable as he has already missed a few practice days.As the Pittsburgh Steelers gear up to face the Chicago Bears in Week 12, Mike Tomlin spoke about Aaron Rodgers’ desire to play as he said, “Aaron always wants to play…Opponent has nothing to do with it.
