Aaron Rodgers Is Reportedly Dealing With 'At Least Three' Fractures In His Wrist Amid Steelers Return

Legendary quarterback Aaron Rodgers is expected to play against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

However, the NFL star would have to grapple with "at least three" fractures in the wrist of his non-throwing hand.

A week ago, Aaron Rodgers put his wrist to work as he was caught flipping off cameras ahead of the Steelers-Bears game, which he sat out due to his injury.

Rodgers would feature in Sunday's pivotal AFC matchup against the Buffalo Bills, despite reports confirming he is battling "at least three" fractures in his left wrist, according to the NFLNetwork.

The veteran quarterback, who missed last week's game after sustaining the injury in week 11 against the Bengals, was listed with the injury worry for the critical Week 13 contest.

He didn't practice on Wednesday but was actively involved in the Thursday and Friday sessions.

"He was a full participant today with no designation for the game," coach Mike Tomlin told reporters on Friday. "So, it's all systems go."

Rodgers' return could not be timelier. The Steelers entered the weekend tied atop the division standings and viewed the clash with the Buffalo Bills as a make-or-break game for their playoff chances.

Last Sunday, Rodgers put his wrist to use while revisiting his old stomping grounds, as he sent Bears fans a subtle message with a crude one-finger gesture at the cameras at the Bears' Soldier Field.

Rodgers stunned fans as he made a lap around the field before kickoff, flipping off the cameras in a moment that went viral on social media.

Back in June, Rodgers implied that it could be his last NFL campaign before retirement. He also appeared eager for one more showdown against the Chicago Bears.

However, he didn't take the field for Pittsburgh during last week's game due to the wrist injury he suffered during the Steelers' Week 11 win over the Bengals.

Veteran backup Mason Rudolph started in his place as the Steelers fell 31-28, dropping their record to 6-5.

At the time, Coach Mike Tomlin confirmed that Rodgers' injury didn't require surgery, noting that "it's just about bracing and securing it for his comfort and safety. And then, it's about how functional he is."

Away from the pitch, Rodgers has made headlines for his mysterious marriage as many of his close friends remain eager to meet his "secret" wife.

After spending 18 seasons with the Green Bay Packers and a short stint with the New York Jets, the 41-year-old joined the Pittsburgh Steelers and confirmed his relationship status to reporters when he arrived at the training camp.

He refused to share more details and added that it had "been a couple of months" since he tied the knot.

The hush-hush about her identity has sparked the curiosity of one of his teammates' wives, who is so keen to meet her and probably welcome her to their group of team wives and girlfriends.

"She's like a phantom," one of Rodgers' teammates' wives told the Daily Mail. "We all want to meet her, to invite her out, get to know her. But we haven't met her yet. We don't even know who she is."

Rodgers himself hasn't offered any help in calming unsettled nerves as he continues to remain evasive about her identity.

During his appearance in a December 2024 episode of the "Pat McAfee Show," he only shared that he was dating someone whose name is Brittani and is a "private person."

"I'm with somebody who's private, who doesn't want to be in the public eye, didn't sign up to be a celebrity - and because I do things in private, because I want my personal life to be private, now I'm weird," he said. "My private life is my private life -and it's going to stay that way."

On the same show in April, he said he was "in a different phase of my life - I'm in a serious relationship," but didn't mention if his partner was still Brittani.

Again, in a July 26 interview with Sports Illustrated, he said: "I've got the most incredible wife."

"I just really love her, and I'm so grateful to have her by my side at the end. When you have that stability and that rock behind you at the house, you feel like you could do anything," he added.

The veteran signal caller has been with famous celebrities, including actress Olivia Munn, whom he dated from 2014 to 2017. He followed that up with a relationship with NASCAR driver Danica Patrick, but that also went sour, with Patrick saying it was "emotionally abusive" and that it "wore me down to nothing."

How long he'll keep shut over her identity remains to be seen, but family sources don't think he's ready to spill the details anytime soon.

"Aaron always does things his way, and he is keeping her secret," a family member told the DailyMail. "What he doesn't realize is that the more he tries to keep her quiet, the more of a fun mystery that becomes for everyone to find her in a 'gotcha' moment."

"So I think he should just have her come to his games matter-of-factly and become part of his world," the source noted, adding that the star player "does what Aaron wants to do," so they "don't know if people will ever see her."
