Aaron Rodgers may be set for a date with a familiar foe.
The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback (left wrist) is questionable to start Sunday against the Chicago Bears, coach Mike Tomlin told reporters, adding, "We'll see where the weekend leads us."
Rodgers, who was injured in the Steelers' Week 11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, missed Wednesday's practice and was limited Thursday and Friday.
Tomlin said Friday it's up to the medical team whether Rodgers will play on Sunday.
"I won't do anything," Tomlin said of the evaluation of Rodgers' injured wrist, via the team's website. "I'm not a medical expert or Aaron. We'll see.
"It's non-surgical. As soon as they secure it and know that he can protect himself, they will be comfortable."
If he's cleared to start, Rodgers will play against the Bears for the first time in his career without being a member of the Green Bay Packers. If not, Mason Rudolph will be under center.
During his time with the Pack (from 2005-2022), Rodgers went 24-5 as a starter against Chicago (25-5 including a win in the 2010 NFC Championship Game). Rodgers has won eight straight against the Bears, with his last loss coming in Week 15, 2018 at Soldier Field.
Rodgers has 64,921 career passing yards -- 79 away from becoming only the fifth player in league chronicle to reach 65,000. We'll see if he has to wait at least another week for the milestone.
Rodgers has completed 192 of 289 passes this year (66.4%) for 1,969 yards, 19 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
The Steelers (6-4) kick off at the Chicago Bears (7-3) on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET
